## Supported NVIDIA GPUs

NVIDIA Run:ai v2.24 is compatible with all Data Center GPUs supported by the NVIDIA GPU Operator. Hardware compatibility is determined by the specific version of the GPU Operator deployed within your cluster.

* Supported operator range - NVIDIA Run:ai v2.24 supports GPU Operator versions 25.3 through 25.10.
* Hardware verification - To confirm if a specific GPU model is supported, please cross-reference your Operator version with the [Supported NVIDIA Data Center GPUs and Systems](https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/gpu-operator/latest/platform-support.html#supported-nvidia-data-center-gpus-and-systems) documentation.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**

* NVIDIA DGX Spark, NVIDIA Jetson and workstations are not supported.
* vGPU is not supported. NVIDIA Run:ai currently supports GPU passthrough only.
* In addition to GPU Operator compatibility, support also depends on the framework being used (for example, CUDA, PyTorch, TensorFlow, or NVIDIA NIM). Before running a workload, verify that the selected framework version supports your target GPU architecture according to the relevant support matrix.
