NVIDIA Driver 580.105.08 Released: The New Recommended Version for Linux Users

NVIDIA has released the latest stable driver for Linux, version 580.105.08, marking it as the new recommended driver. This designation indicates that it meets the same quality standards as NVIDIA’s Windows drivers that pass certification tests. The company has focused on ensuring that the driver offers reliable performance for non-Windows operating systems.

The recent updates and fixes include:

• A new environment variable, CUDA_DISABLE_PERF_BOOST, to disable the automatic GPU power state increase during CUDA application runs. Setting this variable to ‘1’ will turn off the boost.
• Resolved an issue that caused the vfio-pci module to lock up after a virtual machine with passed-through NVIDIA GPUs was powered off.
• Fixed a regression that affected HDMI FRL functionality after hot-unplugging and re-plugging a display.
• Resolved a bug that caused crashes in Rage 2 when loading the game menu. Further details can be found here.
• Fixed a crash in Metro Exodus EE, which is discussed further here.
• Addressed an issue that improperly allowed VRR to be enabled on unsupported modes, leading to black screens.
• Fixed a problem that left some HDMI displays blank after being unplugged and re-plugged.
• Resolved an issue that prevented high-resolution or high-refresh-rate modes (like 7680x2160p@240hz) from being available when using HDMI FRL or DisplayPort.
