Note

  • The Isaac Sim container is only supported on Linux.

  • An Internet connection is required to access the Isaac Sim assets online and to run some extensions.

  • GPUs without RT Cores (A100, H100) are not supported.

  • Due to VRAM constraints, some tutorials and benchmarks may not run on cards below the minimum spec [2]. Workflows leveraging a large number of sensors are particularly affected.

Driver Requirements#

See Technical Requirements for recommended driver versions.

Note

  • See Linux Troubleshooting to resolve driver installation issues on Linux.

  • We recommend installing the Latest Production Branch Version drivers from the Unix Driver Archive using the .run installer on Linux, if you are on a new GPU or experiencing issues with the current drivers.
