NVIDIA 440.26 Beta Linux Driver Brings HDMI 2.1 VRR, VP9 VDPAU Decode + Much More

Someday it's gonna occur to you just how much "irrational dedication" was required to get thousands of programmers to spend hours, days, and years of their free time re-coding from scratch everything from a kernel and libc right through to drivers and GUI environments for that very reason.

What? Sorry, I don't understand your stream of consciousness and how it relates to the topic being discussed. Maybe you're just drunk, dunno.

Staying on 430.34, Nvidia drivers every two updates have been wonktacular—eayeaummm un-good. For some reason for me it's like every 3rd driver release issued eliminates odd stuttering issues in a number of native games that the other drivers have, at least on my system.

This seems to be an ongoing issue on into ∞, which equates to dirty ape balls.

You are and you're a hypocrite since you've left an inane comment just to underline your irrational dedication to everything which is open source without providing any arguments.

Is that driver open source now? No? Then I'm still absolutely not interested.

Next gen? Turing GPUs support HDMI 2.1 and it's now steadily getting enabled.

What? That doesn't say anything about HDMI 2.1 support. I want [email protected]@4:4:4 chroma. I don't give a shit about VRR.

[birdie]

Does this serve as confirmation that the next generation of Nvidia GPU's will, in fact, have HDMI 2.1 support?
