NVIDIA has released the beta version of its 595 graphics driver for Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris, enhancing various functionalities and introducing new features. Key highlights of the NVIDIA 595 driver include:
Moreover, the driver aims at improving the performance of Vulkan swapchain recreation, which minimizes stuttering while resizing Vulkan application windows. An update to the nvidia.ko kernel module now autonomously manages video memory preservation with the NVIDIA Open Kernel Modules, provided the NVreg_UseKernelSuspendNotifiers=1 option is set.
NVIDIA stressed that when using the proprietary driver, video memory preservation requires the /proc/driver/nvidia/suspend interface for respective suspend and resume notifications. Details on setting this up can be found in the "Configuring Power Management Support" section of the README.
The 595 driver also sets the nvidia-drm.ko modeset=1 parameter as a default, adds support for GNU C Library 2.27, and Xorg Server 1.17. Additionally, it enhances support for adaptive sync displays connected via USB-C to HDMI adapters.
As expected, several bugs have been fixed to ensure better compatibility with games, including titles like Black Myth: Wukong and features such as NVIDIA Smooth Motion. Users can find a comprehensive list of changes in the release notes.
It’s important to note that this is a pre-release version, which is not ideal for production environments. Users are advised to stick with the latest stable version, NVIDIA 580.126.18, or the NVIDIA 590.48.01 for those seeking the latest features.
