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**.

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.**

* **Unraid:** Use the production branch from the Nvidia Driver Plugin.

122+
2. **Kernel Parameter:** You must set `nvidia-drm.modeset=1 nvidia_drm.fbdev=1` in your host bootloader.
123+
* **Standard Linux (GRUB):** Edit `/etc/default/grub` and add the parameter to your existing `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT` line:

```text

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="<other existing options> nvidia-drm.modeset=1 nvidia_drm.fbdev=1"
127+
```
128+

Then apply the changes by running:
130+
131+
```bash
132+
sudo update-grub

```

* **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.

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