    According nvidia_icd_json_template shows this:

    { "fileformat_version" : "1.0.0", "ICD": { "library_path": "NV_VK_ICD_", "api_version" : "1.1.84" } }

    No stream output support for turing for now

        Hey, NVIDIA, what about these bugs which have been known for years?

        Update from 2014-09-12: Here’s a solution for this issue (at least it works for me) courtesy of alexisdm (here’s his stack overflow profile). This snippet has to be added to the NVIDIA configuration file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/*.conf: Section "Device" Driver "nvidia" Identifier "Videocard0" Option "RegistryDwords" "RMUseSwI2c=0x01; RMI2cSpeed=100" EndSection ------------------------- The original message ------------------------- sudo ddccontrol -p ddccontrol version 0.4.2 Copyrig...

        Hi everyone ! Using Fedora 27 x64 with xfce, kernel 4.14.16-300.fc27.x86_64, I’m running into some issues since the nvidia 390.12 drivers. With these, I could only see a black screen instead of my desktop (but it was clearly “running”), and there was nothing I could do (I reverted back to nvidia 384). With the nvidia 390.25, things got a little better : my desktop still starts on a black screen, but quickly switching from tty2 to tty1 (ctrl+alt+f2 then ctrl+alt+f1) gives me back my desktop. No...

          I'm not sure if nVidia Vulkan version is relevant.

          Quote: "Just ignore the Vulkan version, it doesn't mean much. The extension had been in development for several months anyway."
          With the Vulkan 1.1.88 spec update including the new VK_EXT_transform_feedback extension, DXVK can finally support Stream Output, which has been a big issue for a number of games (see #135). Prereq...


          To check if VK_EXT_transform_feedback is supported could be used vulkaninfo:
          vulkaninfo | grep -i VK_EXT_transform_feedback

            In my case tested with 410.57 using gpu-viewer 1.14 and extension dont appear

                Oh wow, I've been having this problem forever as well. The GPU constantly sits on the highest performance level, even under long periods where it sees 0% utilisation.

                  "- A fix that could cause Wine to crash."

                  Is that supposed to be "A fix for bug that could cause Wine to crash"? =P

                    From what I can tell does 415.13 contain many of the Vulkan fixes of the 396.54.xx series. I still had issues with a game up to and including 396.54.02, which got fixed with .05. The same issues have disappeared now with 415.13, but were still present in 410.73.

                    Judging by the vulkaninfo command does the driver contain all new extensions up to and including 396.54.06. So is
                    VK_EXT_inline_uniform_block (396.54.05) and VK_KHR_driver_properties (396.54.06) present, but VK_EXT_transform_feedback (396.54.09) is missing.
