Description and Notes

The GTX 1050 Ti is supported by both Nvidia’s proprietary driver and the open source Nouveau driver in the Linux Kernel.

It will require a 1x to 16x adapter, or some other means of adapting the 16x-sized card pins into the 1x slot on the CM4 IO Board. The card takes power from the slot, up to 75W, so make sure your PCIe adapter/riser can supply that much power.

Nouveau (open source) driver

To get the Nouveau driver loaded, you have to recompile the Linux kernel for Pi OS.

Go to Device Drivers > Graphics support on the menuconfig step, and select the Nouveau driver to install.

If you want to be able to boot the Pi all the way, make sure to blacklist the nouveau kernel module:

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf

# Put this inside the file and save it:
blacklist nouveau

Now, after a reboot, you can explicitly load the module and see what happens by following dmesg in another terminal session:

sudo modprobe nouveau

See the linked GitHub issue for more details on the current status of this card.
