NVIDIA 510.54 Linux Driver Released

[MrCooper]

Now it would be nice if Nvidia would work on bringing HDR support for their users, it seems that AMD doesn't care too much about that.

Reality check:

Color management: color mapping functions (groundwork for colour management & HDR support) by an AMD developer just landed in weston.

AMD developers also started discussion how to extend the KMS API colour LUT functionality for HDR. Meanwhile, the nvidia driver doesn't even support any of the existing KMS API colour LUT functionality yet, so things like Night Light or monitor profiles with colour correction don't work yet in a Wayland session on the nvidia driver.

Any pointers to work like this from an Nvidia developer?

Now, lets see if async reprojection (which is enabled by default in steam vr) still freezes my entire computer, every single time after using steam vr longer than 3 seconds. They haven't fixed that bug in many months

i even hit a more fatal bug, that i bought a laptop with nvidia gpu , that was biggest bug in my life

Weird, my Optimus(Prime) laptop works just fine on Linux for years at this point. Intel igpu+ Pascal NV dgpu, finished many games on it and still using.

They are fixing their driver for KDE Plasma?
LOL!
If it weren't for KDE Plasma to be so beloved and big and their developers to stand their ground against Nvidia's bullshit, there wouldn't be any GBM and Wayland support even today.
Congratulations to KDE developers for standing their ground against shitty behavior of Russia (Nvidia) when others bent over!

LOL. Also, congratulation to KDE developers for standing their ground against climate change. If it wasn't for them we would still not have any renewable energy initiative or climate change. Oh, wait they also invented the wheel? Thank you, thank you, what would be the wold without KDE.

Wake me up when video acceleration and gsync work.

yeah actually work but...................................on X

work in wayland

Your first mistake was installing Linux on it. Other than that NVIDIA works just fine.

Fan BOIIII!!!

You can always rely on birdie to universally shit on things in this community unless it's Nvidia or Intel. Then he's happy to sing their praises.

[Myownfriend]

Well, of course there isn't. Who's even expecting NVIDIA to put a worthy upgrade anyway?

He was talking about driver upgrade not getting a new video card...

If you already have an Nvidia card then not upgrading the driver with bug fixes is just going to be worse.

Your first mistake was installing Linux on it. Other than that NVIDIA works just fine.

Your second mistake was buying a laptop with a discrete GPU - they all suck even under Windows.

Your third mistake was trying to look smug however it came off cheap and lame.

What's wrong with that? Optimus works pretty well nowadays in every possible configuration (PRIME/revese PRIME/render offload etc.) and if you don't like it you can just use the iGPU and not even install the driver. Usually you can even drive a second monitor with the iGPU through a USB-C->HDMI adapter if the HDMI port is wired to Nvidia.
Plus, now your beefy Nvidia GPU is left over for use in a VM, which is something that is officially supported now. Or on-dand compute workloads if that's more your style.
YMMV, but I'm quite happy with my laptop.
