NVIDIA presented the release of the new branch of the proprietary driver nvidia 520.56.06 . The driver is available for Linux (ARM64, X86_64), FreeBSD (X86_64) and Solaris (X86_64). NVIDIA 520.X became the second stable branch after the NVIDIA components operating at the nucleus level opening. The initial texts of the nuclei modules nvidia.ko, nvidia-drm.ko (Direct Rendering Manager), Nvidia-modeset.ko and Nvidia-uvm.ko (Unified Video Memory) from the NVIDIA 520.56.06, as well as the general components used in them, the general components used in them Not tied to the operating system, published on Github. Firmware and library user, such as Cuda, Opengl and Vulkan, remain proprietary stacks.
The main innovations:
- Added support GPU GeForce RTX 4090.
- Updated the driver providing support for the graphic API Vulkan. Расширения VK_KHR_acceleration_structure, VK_KHR_deferred_host_operations, VK_KHR_ray_query, VK_KHR_ray_tracing_pipeline, VK_NV_cuda_kernel_launch, VK_NV_ray_tracing, VK_NV_ray_tracing_motion_blur, VK_NVX_binary_import и VK_NVX_image_view_handle больше не зависят от модуля ядра nvidia-uvm.ko.
- Added support for the OTA-renewal of Proton and Wine NVIDIA NGX. To turn on the update loading should be set in 1 environment variable Proton_enable_ngx_updater.
- In the NVIDIA-INSTALLER installer, it is allowed to use the “-Add-this-cernel” option users without Root rights, a more accurate indication of the progress of the assembly of the nucleus modules and the removal of warning in the absence of the vulkan icd.
- Supporting the system dkms (Dynamic Kernel Module Support) used to assemble the kernel modules after renewal of the Linux nucleus. If there is a DKMS utility system, the installer now by default registers the supplied nuclei modules in DKMS.
- Added a new implementation of the CUDA debugger (Libcudadebugger.so) for GPU based on architectures starting with Pascal.
- The regressive change was eliminated, which led to freezes and an empty screen when the X-server is launched on the GPU of the RTX 30 series in some configurations with monitors connected via HDMI.
- The error was fixed due to which the collapse of the game Spider-Man Remastered on the GPU Toring and more new.
- In the Vulkan drive, an error has been eliminated, led to damage to geometric shaaders and shaders of Teseling control.
