NVIDIA released today the NVIDIA 580.82.07 graphics drivers for NVIDIA GPUs on Linux, BSD, and Solaris systems as the second update to the latest NVIDIA 580 series.
NVIDIA 580.82.07 is a small update that only adds support for NVIDIA Smooth Motion on GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs, fixes a regression introduced in NVIDIA 580.65.06 that could cause Vulkan apps to hang on Wayland, and fixes a bug that caused /sys/class/drm/…/enabled to always report “disabled” for NVIDIA GPU connectors.
The NVIDIA 580 graphics driver series was released last month with Wayland improvements by introducing support for the fifo-v1 Wayland protocol on Vulkan and fixing a bug that could cause GTK 4 apps to crash when using the Vulkan backend on Wayland.
NVIDIA 580 also implemented a feature that reduces the time spent in the interrupt top half for low-latency display interrupts by deferring the work until later, and enabled the RMIntrLockingMode feature by default, which could help reduce stutter, especially when using VR (virtual reality).
In addition, NVIDIA 580 introduced various improvements to the GPU clock value reporting in the nvidia-settings panel, NVIDIA Management Library (NVML), and the nvidia-smi command to display clocks before thermal and idle slowdowns for better consistency with the equivalent functionality on Windows systems.
Check out the changelog for more details about the changes implemented in the NVIDIA 580.82.07 graphics driver, which is available for download from the same page. NVIDIA 580.82.07 is considered a production-ready release, and it is recommended for all users.
