NVIDIA has recently announced the release of the latest branch of their proprietary driver, nvidia 535.43.03, which is now available for Linux (ARM64, X86_64), FreeBSD (X86_64) and Solaris (X86_64). This marks NVIDIA 535.X as the fifth stable branch after the NVIDIA components operating at the nucleus level opening. The initial texts of the nuclei modules nvidia.ko, nvidia-drm.ko, Nvidia-modeset.ko, and Nvidia-uvm.ko from the new branch of NVIDIA, as well as the general components used in them, not attached to the operating system, were published on GitHub. However, firmware and library user, including Cuda, Opengl, and Vulkan, remains proprietary.
The new drivers incorporate a range of features and innovations such as support for the Vulkan expression K_ext_memory_priority and vk_ext_pageable_Device_Memory for GPU Toring and newer, improved performance for Minecraft Java Edition on the GPU series RTX 3000, support for video games like 8k @ 60hz, extended dynamic boost performance improvement on laptops with AMD Renoir and Cezanne chipset, and upgraded version of the library supplied gbm egl.
Also, added support is available for the fourth version of the Linux-Dmabuf Wayland Protocol, and the possibility of restoring the console when using Simpledrm. The NVIDIA-SETTINGS configurator has added information about energy consumption and existing restrictions to the PowerMizer page, while in the NVIDIA-MODPRobe utility, the possibility of creating a symbolic link in/DEV/CAR is enabled when creating devices/DEV/NVIDIA*.
Overall, the new branch of NVIDIA promises to deliver improved performance and stability with enhanced support for various devices. For more details, users can refer to the NVIDIA Driver Support Center.
