Please provide feedback specific to the 560 release series here.

I hate to harp on this more but I’m again asking for some acknowledgement of the HDR freeze issue in Plasma. There is an open pull for Plasma that disables HDR on Nvidia cards specifically because of this issue. [image] backends/drm: block the colorspace capability by default on NVidia (!6497) ·... There have been many reports that enabling HDR on NVidia can lead to KWin's atomic commits being rejected on login, which means KWin can't display anything. To prevent...

Started another thread here for the VRAM / wayland issue: Multiple wayland compositors not freeing VRAM after resizing windows - #2 by kelvie It appears to affect more than just the 560 driver after more testing

Am I the only person who doesn’t have any freeze issue with kwin 6.1 and HDR enabled ? However I experience freezes with HDR on Windows: Black screen and system freezes when I enable DSC, 10 bits HDR and VRR - #4 by MarkusHoHo

GravityMark OpenGL test can not be started: E: 59.73 ms: GL::open(): glXChooseFBConfig(): failed E: 61.19 ms: GLWindow::create_visual(): can't open OpenGL E: 61.33 ms: GLWindow::create_context(): OpenGL is not opened E: 61.35 ms: Window::create(): can't create context E: 61.36 ms: GravityMark::create(): can't create Window for OpenGL platform Runs fine on Intel iGPU.

No freezes here. Same DE. Just limited colour space issue reported previously.

I already posted a screenshot showing XWayland is where the memory leak is, atleast on Gnome. Some code is clearly reserving 10% of VRAM.

It was also verified by nvidia staff. At least for this driver. [image] 560 release feedback & discussion Linux We filed bugs for 2 more issues today and were able to reproduce issue locally. Issue 1 - Overriding EDID makes VRR stop working under WAYLAND - 4797139 Issue 2 - Xwayland VRAM usage is still excessive when resizing X11 apps under wayland. - 4806756 We will be monitoring other issues as well and will keep updated.

i still have issue that happens on all nvidia drivers on wayland once game takes all vram that is 4gb , every app that was opend freezes on last state closing the game that took all vram, does not unfreeze apps sometimes gtx 1650
