Okay, so I’ve ran the 570 drivers (closed drivers, GSP off) for a while now.
First, thank you for VRR finally working with multiple displays! This was a huge leap forward!
For me, the driver only contained fixes, no regressions found.
Now looking forward, with the risk of repeating myself, this needs fixing:
- Games using vkd3d-proton needs an uplift in performance DirectX12 performance is terrible on Linux
- Suspend isn’t working properly for everyone.
- VRAM not being released properly in wayland, it works for me tho’ with workarounds but Hyprland seems to have issues? Xwayland VRAM usage is still excessive when resizing X11 apps under wayland. · Issue #126 · NVIDIA/egl-wayland · GitHub
- When the card is in P8, KDE still seems to stutter more than it should.
- This fd/VRAM leak Fd leak with explicit sync and kde plasma
- Prevent games from crashing when VRAM reaches OOM, seems to happen with apps too?
- Boot fails on some notebooks when on battery (internal display remains dark)
- Ampere (?) GPUs suffer from increased power usage? Increased idle consumption with driver 570
- Black screen over HDMI 2.1 with VRR enabled in kde and a fullscreen game is opened. Switching to DisplayPort works around the issue so most likely some HDMI 2.1 compatibility bug (tracked internally within as bug 5088161).
