NVIDIA has released the first stable release of a new branch of the NVIDIA proprietary driver 510.39.01. At the same time, an update was proposed to the stable branch of NVIDIA 470.103.1. The driver is available for Linux (ARM64, x86_64), FreeBSD (x86_64) and Solaris (x86_64).
Main innovations:
- Added support for Vulkan 1.3 graphics API.
- Added support for accelerated video decoding in AV1 format to the VDPAU driver.
- A new nvidia-powerd background process has been implemented to provide support for the Dynamic Boost mechanism, which balances power consumption between the CPU and GPU to improve performance.
- Added parameter "peerdirect_support" to nvidia-peermem.ko kernel module to control GPUDirect RDMA support using MOFED drivers (Mellanox OFED).
- A profile has been added to eliminate breakdown with display violation in Blender when viewing in stereoscopy mode with anti-aliasing active.
- Added a setting to the nvidia-settings configurator to change the image sharpening setting ("Image Sharpening").
- nvidia-settings implements the ability to use NVML for NV-CONTROL attributes.
- Added support for 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, as well as the functions bufferDeviceAddressCaptureReplay.
- Optimized full-screen output using the Vulkan API in X11-based environments and direct-to-display.
- The nvidia-xconfig utility now adds a default BusID to the "Device" section on systems that combine NVIDIA GPUs with non-Nvidia GPUs. To disable this behavior, the "--no-busid" option is provided.
- For NVIDIA T4, A100, A30, A40, A16, A2 graphics cards and some other Tesla products, GSP firmware is enabled by default.
