@naughtyGitCat Are you possibly passing the GPU through to a VM? If that's the case you have to hide the hypervisor or the NVIDIA driver will refuse to work. See PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF#Video_card_driver_virtualisation_detection

On the other hand, I am not very familiar with this card but may it work with the newest, officially supported drivers (e.g. 580xx)? The list on the NVIDIA driver README appears to suggest it should. You may have more luck getting it to work with it if that's the case.

yes, card is passing to vm on the pve virt platform, i will try the pci passthrough config, thank u

ps:
gp106-90 is gtx1060-3gb mining version, nvidia linux driver support end to 470 version, 490 and 580xx is not supported
