NVIDIA has released driver version 610.57.04 for Linux, launching as the first point release in its new R610 feature branch alongside the quietly patched 595.91.07 stable build. The update brings full support for the GeForce RTX 50 series, patches rendering corruption and crashes in over twenty popular titles, and resolves lingering Vulkan semaphore and X11 modeset display bugs. Community feedback highlights a mix of smooth Turing-era driver installations and persistent variable refresh rate friction on Wayland, with synthetic benchmarks still catching up to real-world stability. Users can grab the ~442 MB installer directly from NVIDIA’s servers, where it supports DKMS, RPM, and deb package formats out of the box.
