NVIDIA have launched their latest recommended driver for Linux users with driver version 580.95.05 now available.
With it being their latest "Recommended/Certified" driver it means you should be good to upgrade to this version for all your gaming and other needs. As NVIDIA explain: "This driver meets the quality levels applied to Windows drivers that pass testing in Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL), therefore providing the same attention to driver reliability, robustness, and performance for non-Windows operating systems (e.g., Linux)".
Here's all that's changed:
- Added support for YCbCr 4:2:2 display modes over HDMI Fixed Rate Link (FRL). This capability is only supported on Blackwell or later.
- Downgraded an error message "Failed to allocate NvKmsKapiDevice" to an informational message "NUMA was not set up yet; ignoring this device" when initializing nvidia-drm in cases where initialization is expected to fail due to NUMA not being online.
- Fixed a bug that caused interactive object outlines to not be rendered in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
- Fixed a regression introduced in the 575 driver series that caused GPUs to be powered on unnecessarily when processing redundant system power source notifications from the ACPI subsystem.

And in case you missed the recent news NVIDIA are investing $5 billion in Intel to develop new chips together.

It's in the link. To my surprise, it supports down to GeForce GTX 745.

Yea, the 580 driver series will be the last for Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta-series GeForce GPUs. The 10 series GPUs are mostly Pascal chips. Here's the link to Nvidia's post:
