If both variables point to the same device, the container will automatically enable **Zero Copy** encoding, significantly reducing CPU usage and latency. If they are set to different devices one will be used for **Rendering** and one for **Encoding** with a cpu readback.

You can also use the environment variable `AUTO_GPU=true`, with this set the first card detected in the container (IE `/dev/dri/renderD128`) will be used and configured for **Zero Copy**.

1. **Driver:** Proprietary drivers **580 or higher** are required.

2. **Kernel Parameter:** Set `nvidia-drm.modeset=1` in your host bootloader (GRUB/systemd-boot).

3. **Initialization:** On headless systems, run `nvidia-modprobe --modeset` on the host (once per boot) to initialize the card.

1. **Driver:** Proprietary drivers **580 or higher** are required. **Crucially, you should install the driver using the `.run` file downloaded directly from the Nvidia website.**
166+
* **Unraid:** Use the production branch from the Nvidia Driver Plugin.
167+
168+
2. **Kernel Parameter:** You must set `nvidia-drm.modeset=1 nvidia_drm.fbdev=1` in your host bootloader.
169+
* **Standard Linux (GRUB):** Edit `/etc/default/grub` and add the parameter to your existing `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT` line:
170+
171+
```text
172+
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="<other existing options> nvidia-drm.modeset=1 nvidia_drm.fbdev=1"
173+
```
174+
175+
Then apply the changes by running:
176+
177+
```bash
178+
sudo update-grub
179+
```
180+
181+
* **Unraid (Syslinux):** Edit the file `/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg` and add `nvidia-drm.modeset=1 nvidia_drm.fbdev=1` to the end of the `append` line for the Unraid OS boot entry.

183+
3. **Hardware Initialization:** **On headless systems, the Nvidia video card requires a physical dummy plug inserted into the GPU so that DRM initializes properly.**

4. **Docker Runtime:** Configure the host docker daemon to use the Nvidia runtime:
