580 release feedback & discussion

Driver Details | NVIDIA new driver:

  • Added a new environment variable, CUDA_DISABLE_PERF_BOOST, to allow for disabling the default behavior of boosting the GPU to a higher power state when running CUDA applications. Setting this environment variable to ‘1’ will disable the boost.

  • Fixed an issue that caused the vfio-pci module to soft lockup after powering off a VM with passed-through NVIDIA GPUs.

  • Fixed a recent regression which prevented HDMI FRL from working after hot unplugging and replugging a display.

  • Fixed a bug that caused Rage2 to crash when loading the game menu:

  • Fixed a bug that caused Metro Exodus EE to crash:

  • Fixed a bug that allowed VRR to be enabled on some modes where it isn’t actually possible, leading to a black screen.

  • Fixed a bug that could cause some HDMI displays to remain blank after unplugging and re-plugging the display.

  • Fixed an issue that would prevent large resolution or high refresh rate modes like 7680x2160p@240hz from being available when using HDMI FRL or DisplayPort.
