NVIDIA introduced The first stable release of a new branch of the proprietary driver NVIDIA 510.39.01 . At the same time, Proposed The update passed the stable branch of NVIDIA 470.1033.1. The driver is available for Linux (ARM64, x86_64), FreeBSD (x86_64) and Solaris (x86_64).
Main innovations:
- Added support for Graphic API Vulkan 1.3.
- VDPAU driver added support for accelerating video decoding in AV1 format.
- implemented a new NVIDIA-POWERD background process, providing support for the Dynamic Boost mechanism, allowing to balance power consumption between CPU and GPU to improve performance.
- in the nvidia-peermem.ko kernel module Added parameter “peerdirect_support”, managing support for GPudirect RDMA using MOFED drivers.
- added profile to troubleshoot a breakdown in Blender when viewing a stereoscopy mode with active smoothing.
- In the NVIDIA-Settings configurator, a setup has been added to change the sharpness of the images (“Image Sharpening”).
- NVIDIA-SETTINGs implements the ability to use NVML for NV-Control attributes.
- Added support Vulkan-extensions VK_EXT_depth_clip_control, VK_EXT_border_color_swizzle, VK_EXT_image_view_min_lod, VK_KHR_format_feature_flags2, VK_KHR_maintenance4, VK_KHR_shader_integer_dot_product, VK_EXT_primitive_topology_list_restart, VK_EXT_load_store_op_none and VK_KHR_dynamic_rendering, and bufferDeviceAddressCaptureReplay functions.
- optimized full-screen output using the VULKAN API in the X11 database environments and with direct display on the screen (Direct-to-Display).
- in the NVIDIA-XConfig utility is implemented adding the default BusID to the “Device” section on systems that combine GPU NVIDIA with the GPU of other manufacturers. To disable this behavior, the “–no-busid” option is provided.
- for NVIDIA T4, A100, A30, A40, A16, A2 and some other TESLA products, the default GSP firmware is enabled.
