Hey guys, I'm new in Truenas Scale but a big enthusiast about the whole concept. Recently bought an old Dell Poweredge T420 where I'm running Truenas Scale 22.12.1, specs bellow:
- Dual Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2470 v2 @ 2.40GHz
- 96 Gb Memory
- Five 1Tb WD drives in RaidZ1 mostly for backing up from my devices through Nextcloud
- One 8Tb in stripe for media
- One 256Gb m2 nvme for system apps and VMs
- Dual 1Gbit NIC
- GPU Nvidia Quadro 6000 and heres the problem
As far as I could get online, drivers for not so old GPUs are no longer supported(trying nvidia-smi on shell will throw that the driver are not found).
Tried everything I could, since getting the Nvidia drivers I need (390.xx) for the current version of the kernel and no success installing(guess that is considered a rollback and not allowed). The apt-update and etc method, no longer allowed either.
Well, my question is if I should throw the GPU back to eBay (which I dont want to since still a good GPU) or there's still any solution.
That would be awesome, since there's a lot of users facing the same problem, anybody can read this is a really common thread topic.

Would really appreciate any help.
