NVIDIA has published the first stable release of the new NVIDIA proprietary driver branch 465.24. At the same time, an update to the NVIDIA LTS branch 460.67 was proposed. The driver is available for Linux (ARM, x86_64), FreeBSD (x86_64) and Solaris (x86_64).
Releases 465.24 and 460.67 added support for A10, A10G, A30, PG506-232, RTX A4000, RTX A5000, T400, and T600 GPUs. Among the changes specific to the new NVIDIA 465 branch:
- Support for the Vulkan 1.2 graphics API has been implemented for the FreeBSD platform.
- Updated the nvidia-settings panel to improve the consistency of screen space layout control settings that are specific to some monitors or GPUs.
- Improved performance of drawing dotted text via DrawText() in the X11 environment.
- Added support for Vulkan extensions VK_KHR_synchronization2, VK_KHR_workgroup_memory_explicit_layout and K_KHR_zero_initialize_workgroup_memory.
- Vulkan adds support for using line images in host-visible video memory.
- Support for the D3 dynamic power management mechanism (RTD3, Runtime D3 Power Management) is enabled by default.
- The .run package installer includes installation of the systemd services nvidia-suspend.service, nvidia-hibernate.service, and nvidia-resume.service, which are used when setting the NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1 parameter in the nvidia module, which is required for advanced hibernation and standby features to work. To disable the installation of services, the "--no-systemd" option is provided.
- In the X11 driver, for applications left without a virtual terminal (VT), the ability to continue running on the GPU has been added, but with a frame rate limit. To enable this mode, the NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1 parameter is provided in the nvidia module.
- Bugs fixed. Including fixed problems in the work of some configurations with a large number of screens connected to one GPU. Fixed a hang in multithreaded GLX applications when trying to handle an XError. Fixed a potential crash in the Vulkan driver when clearing multi-layered images. Fixed issues with SPIR-V.
