NVIDIA 495 Linux Beta Driver Released With GBM Support

[MadCatX]

At last we see how full of shit nVidia has been all the time when they had been rooting for EGLStreams. Hail to the king that is open source development, baby!

I'm also confused on this because we were promised wayland on nvidia with 21.10 and it is almost out.

According to the next story here on Phoronix, we now have both. Today is 21.10 day

[lumks]

Are they really adding GBM support on the first version that doesn't support Kepler?

Doesn't look different compared to 470

Gnome does work on wayland mode in nvidia, but it's buggy and discouraged and you need to hack GDM's config to enable it once you install the nvidia driver.

21.10 is coming on the next few days, and it has nvidia-driver-470 as the newest version. At this point this is not going to change.

Edit: actually, 21.10 already came out: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pa...x=Ubuntu-21.10

Right so the articles promising it as a mainstream feature are out of date / mistaken?

[royce]

I didn't say that. Only stated those two facts. Maybe wayland is now selectable at GDM with nvidia drivers installed without needing to enable it by hand. Maybe it doesn't. Go and check it out.

I am seeing a performance increase in Shadow Of The Tomb Raider of approximately 3-4 extra fps on a 3070, indicative that the resize bar smart access stuff is working. Which is about the same gain I saw on a RX 6800XT, had to send it back 'bellied up )-: and by that time its price went through the roof even higher' but am now with a 3070.

Dishonored 2 went from playable to extremely playable with this driver, that being said, even the RX 6800 XT had some serious issues with that game across several cards in the 6000's series by multiple different owners. Dishonored 2 is also in my opinion one of those games that will really test the strength of a GPU aside from the opinion of mine that to date is one of the best games ever made.

Perhaps I ended up with a card that is better suited for my gaming needs, $1,400 was honestly pretty steep, don't know why the 6800XT failed. $1,000 for a 3070 in the current market is pretty fair.

I think it is likely that we will see both Nvidia and AMD to have pretty decent performance increases with this newer generation set of cards with SAM. Both most likely will see lots of things fixed.

Rebar was working for me in 470 series too. Is this anything different?

Huh, so when this is correct, they seem to have changed the plan to drop Kepler on Linux after 470 branch. That'd be good news.

[ezst036]

Was there any bigger blocker for Wayland adoption in 2021 than this?

[Myownfriend]

I'm getting an issue with XWayland applications launching as completely transparent in Gnome 41 now. Anybody know what the issue could be?
