NVIDIA 440.31 Linux Driver Adds HDMI 2.1 VRR Support, VP9 Decode, DXVK Fixes

Nevertheless, I would like to have HDMI VRR on my RX580.

What you wanted to say was, it adds FreeSync support. Honestly F. VRR and g-sync compatible nonsense.

VRR is the name of the HDMI standard (protocol?). Just like Adaptative Sync is for DisplayPort. Freesync is AMD's brand.

It's a bit like HDMI CEC vs T-Link (ITT) HDAVI Control, EZ-Sync, VIERA Link (Panasonic) EasyLink (Philips) NetCommand for HDMI (Mitsubishi)...

FreeSync is supported exclusively via DisplayPort. HDMI VRR is HDMI VRR.

Awesome, a great improvement.
Another piece of the puzzle squared away for widespread HDMI 2.1 VRR adoption.
