I’ve updated the driver from 550.144.03 to 570.124.04 and have got 3 critical issues:
NVIDIA HDMI won’t work, neither audio and video, screen isn’t recognized. Both X11 and Wayland.
More information here: https://forums.opensuse.org/t/nvidia-doesnt-output-video-to-hdmi-on-laptop/183106
Worse performance in games. For instance, Minecraft 1.20.1 running with Embeddium shaders came from 40+ FPS to ~20 FPS. There’s also screen tearing. Checking in nvtop GPU utilization is also way lower than it used to be.

Up, to avoid automatic closing
For desktop usage (RTX 3090 with an AMD 7800X3D CPU), with kernel 6.13.5-200.fc41.x86_64 on Fedora 41, the new driver (570.124.04) is perfect. I am using HDMI output (audio+video), my HDMI TV screen is recognized, and the performance is great.
I am running in HDMI 2.1 mode with 120Hz output. But I also verified that HDMI 2.0 mode with 60hz output works too.
I see that you have a laptop with dual GPUs:
GPU: AMD ATI Radeon 680M
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Mobile
So if the driver broke things on your system, I guess there’s a regression in the dual-GPU code for laptops.
If I were you, I’d try these things:
- Check if the driver is actually fully built and loaded. It almost sounds like you are using the Nouveau driver instead of the NVIDIA proprietary driver.
- Try downgrading the NVIDIA driver. Does it fix things?
- If the old driver is also broken for you now, then you may have received some other package update at the same time which was the real reason for the breakage.
I was using the proprietary driver with the proprietary kernel module (as the open kernel module wasn’t available for Slowroll at the time) - as you can see in the Minecraft screenshots. Downgrading back to 550 (with open kernel module) fixed all these issues, but i’m stuck to a older kernel version.
Okay I see.
If you have a spare partition (25GB or so), I would suggest trying the latest NVIDIA driver on Fedora Workstation 41. Why? Because I used openSUSE Tumbleweed in the past and had all kinds of NVIDIA driver issues that only happened on openSUSE.
If so, the process is:
- Install Fedora.
- Perform a full system update and reboot, so that you are on the latest kernel.
- Then run these commands to get the latest NVIDIA driver:
sudo dnf install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
sudo dnf config-manager setopt fedora-cisco-openh264.enabled=1
sudo dnf config-manager setopt rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing.enabled=1
sudo dnf update @core
sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda --refresh
I suggest this because it has a chance of solving the problem and because it’s better than waiting weeks for a non-response from NVIDIA. It’s worth trying.
That’s unfortunate. Well let’s hope NVIDIA sees this thread.

Hi there all of you.
No worries, we don’t usually close topics just on timer basis. And yes, it was seen.
But I suggest because this is a rather special case that we move this topic into the dedicated Linux category if you don’t mind? There the real experts will have visibility of this.
Oh and I think @joseskvolpe you mixed up the “Before” and “After” sections above, since the “Before” screenshot shows lower FPS in Minecraft.
Cheers!

Yeah, you can move it :3
I did mixed it, and i haven’t noticed it lmfao thanks unfortunately i can’t edit it

Tried driver version 570.133.07, both issues still continues, bad performance and HDMI not working
I was on the full rolling release of Tumbleweed and also ran into issues with the 570 driver. I tried both open and closed versions. I tested on two different laptops. One had an ai 9 hx 370 with an rtx 4070 mobile q and the other with an ryzen 9 5900hs and rtx 3070 mobile q. The issues i had were VLC not playing any videos when nvidia graphics card was loaded. Diablo 4 kept running out of video ram and the fps would drop to sub 20. I switched to Fedora and both problems have been fixed. I still run out of ram in D4 but the fps is not sub 20. I don’t know the exact version numbers in tumbleweed but the problems have been going on for a while (month or two). Hopefully this will help you. I still don’t know why switching to Fedora helped but it did.
