Notable enhancements since the previous R575 Beta Release (575.51.02) include:
- A fix for increasing memory usage in X11 OpenGL and Vulkan applications after suspend/resume cycles.
- Resolved issues that caused OpenGL applications to stall when used with NVIDIA as a PRIME Display Offload sink, which could lead to a black screen.
- The extension of the __NV_DISABLE_EXPLICIT_SYNC environment variable to GLX and Vulkan applications.
- Bug fixes for specific games like Marvel Rivals and Minecraft that crashed under certain conditions.
- Added support for new DRM plane properties related to color encoding and range.
- Enhanced the nvidia-powerd daemon for better performance management while notebooks are operating on battery power, including support for Dynamic Boost.
- A new kernel module parameter, 'conceal_vrr_caps', which allows for the use of features incompatible with VRR on some displays, such as Ultra Low Motion Blur (ULMB).
- Updates to the nvidia-modeset driver to improve data handling related to the GPU's audio device.
This driver update aims to deliver a more seamless experience for Linux users, particularly those using NVIDIA graphics in demanding environments. Users are encouraged to check the README for detailed information on new features and improvements.
In summary, the release of NVIDIA's 575.57.08 driver marks a significant step in optimizing graphics performance and stability on Linux systems, particularly for gaming and professional applications. As the driver continues to evolve, users can expect further enhancements that leverage the capabilities of NVIDIA hardware in various Linux environments
Linux x64 (AMD64 EM64T) Display Driver 575.57.08 released
NVIDIA has released Linux x64 (AMD64/EM64T) Display Driver, which has been revised to resolve multiple issues, including memory usage concerns, stalling of OpenGL applications and compositors, as well as problems with GLX front buffer rendering and crashes in Minecraft. The driver now supports GLX front buffer rendering on Xwayland, fixes a bug that affects PRIME Render Offload when using NVIDIA GPUs for both rendering and display, and solves a problem that prevents VRR from working when changing an EDID. The driver provides support for NVIDIA Smooth Motion, enables Dynamic Boost while notebook systems operate on battery power, and removes trailing whitespace from product names sent to the GPU's audio device as part of the EDID-Like Data.
