# About GPU Driver Management in CKS

> Configure and manage GPU driver versions for your Node Pools

<Warning>
  GPU driver management in CKS has the following limitations:

  * **No Cloud Console support**: Configuration must be done through Kubernetes manifests.
  * **Limited version updates**: You can only select major version updates. When minor version updates are available, CKS generates a new pending configuration on the Node Pool. Pending configurations can be found on the Node Pool's [`status.pendingNodeConfiguration`](/products/cks/reference/node-pool#pending-node-configuration). See [Manage Node Pool Configuration](/products/cks/nodes/manage#manage-node-pool-configuration) for more details.
  * **Release channels are not supported**: The `latest` and `stable` release channels are not supported in Node Pools.

  Please [contact CoreWeave support](/support/) if you have questions about GPU driver management.
</Warning>

#### Do not install the NVIDIA GPU Operator on CKS clusters

<Warning>
  CoreWeave manages the [NVIDIA GPU Operator](https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/gpu-operator/latest/getting-started.html) on your behalf. Do not install the NVIDIA GPU Operator on CKS clusters. Doing so conflicts with the platform-managed deployment and is not supported.
</Warning>

CKS allows you to specify a GPU driver version for your Node Pools. Driver versions can be specified in the Node Pool manifest when deploying a Node Pool. CKS workloads can target Nodes running specific driver versions using the `nodeSelector` field in the workload manifest.

<Note>
  Selecting a driver version using the `gpu` field is **optional**. If not specified, the Node Pool uses the latest available driver version.
</Note>

## Supported driver versions

CoreWeave supports all tested release driver (TRD) versions from Nvidia, listed below as major versions.

<Note>
  Although customers are not forced to upgrade from a major version, our recommendation is to upgrade frequently to ensure the best combination of testing coverage, security posture, stability, and performance.
