- Updated
the confirmation dialog box that is displayed when quitting the
nvidia-settings control panel to report when there are pending
configuration changes which will be lost if they are not applied or
saved before quitting.
- Enabled parallel GLSL
shader linking by default; i.e., allow GL_ARB_parallel_shader_compile to
work without first calling glMaxShaderCompilerThreadsARB().
- Added
support for HDMI 2.1 variable refresh rate (VRR) G-SYNC Compatible
monitors on supported GPUs.For more details, see « Configuring Multiple
Display Devices on One X Screen » in the README.
- Added support
for the GLX_NV_multigpu_context and GL_NV_gpu_multicast extensions.For
more details, see the « Configuring SLI and Multi-GPU FrameRendering »
chapter of the README, and the extension specifications:
https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenGL/extensions/NV/GLX_NV_multigpu_context.txt
https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenGL/extensions/NV/NV_gpu_multicast.txt - Fixed
a bug that prevented Vulkan applications running on systems configured
for SLI. Vulkan applications can now run while SLI is enabled; however,
they will only be able to use a single GPU.
- Simplified the
nvidia-sleep.sh sample script to no longer depend on unreliable
detection of the current VT through X server logs.
- Added EGL support for PRIME render offload. Please see the PRIME Render Offload chapter in the README for configuration details.
- Fixed
a regression introduced in 435.19.02 that would cause some applications
which use the VK_KHR_DISPLAY extension to result in a segmentation
fault.
- Enabled HardDPMS by default. See the README entry on the X configuration option « HardDPMS » for more information.
- Fixed a bug which caused corruption in the following DXVK titles:
Saints Row IV
Saints Row: The Third - Added
VP9 decode support to the NVIDIA VDPAU driver. See the VDPAU Support
appendix in the README for supported VP9 decoder profiles.
- Fixed
a bug that could cause heapUsage values reported by
VK_EXT_memory_budget to not immediately update after vkFreeMemory was
called.
- Changed GPU clock management strategy to more quickly ramp down clocks after a drop in GPU utilization.
- Added
X configuration option, « SidebandSocketPath », which controls the
directory in which the X driver will create a pathname UNIX domain
socket used to communicate with the NVIDIA OpenGL, Vulkan and VDPAU
driver components.
- The X driver will now create a fallback
pathname UNIX domain socket in the directory specified by the
« SidebandSocketPath » option, or /var/run by default, which will be used
by other NVIDIA driver components if they are unable to connect to the
default abstract socket.This fixes a bug where graphics applications run
within a network namespace (which prevents the use of abstract sockets)
were unable to take advantage of some driver features, such as G-Sync.
- Fall
back to system memory when video memory is full for some
driver-internal allocations. This can help fix Xid 13 and Xid 31 cases
in Vulkan applications when video memory is full.
- Fixed a bug
that could cause a blank screen on some DisplayPort monitors when
logging in to GNOME, if the nvidia-drm kernel module parameter modeset=1
is specified.
- Fixed a bug that prevented NVIDIA GPUs from
entering the low-power D3 state when entering suspend-to-idle (s2idle).
Note that on some systems this may expose an existing timing issue in
the Linux kernel; see the « Known Issues and Workarounds » section of the
« Configuring Power Management Support » chapter of the README for more
details.
