NVIDIA today pushed out the 430.14 stable driver, it comes with a few notable improvements but it's quite a small release overall.

This time around they named two titles specifically seeing driver improvements. They noted that DiRT 4 with Vulkan, a more recent Linux port from Feral Interactive should see improvements with Vulkan. Additionally, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus when played in Steam Play should see performance improvements thanks to "support for presentation from queue families which only expose VK_QUEUE_COMPUTE_BIT" and it also adds support for the Quadro P2200.

On top of that, it pulls in all the improvements in the 430.09 beta driver, since this is the first stable release in the 430 series. So this includes support for the GeForce GTX 1650, along with the Max-Q Design and Ti model. There's various VDPAU additions and updates like HEVC YUV 4:4:4 decode support and so on.

It's not noted, but it does also include the "VK_EXT_host_query_reset" extension, which was suggested you needed for DXVK 1.1.1 to get the best performance.

It also ups the minimum X.Org xserver version you need to 1.7 (video driver ABI version 6).
