NVIDIA today released the latest recommended / certified stable driver for Linux with version 580.105.08.
What is a recommended driver according to NVIDIA? As they said: "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)."
All the changes are:
- Added a new environment variable, CUDA_DISABLE_PERF_BOOST, to allow for disabling the default behavior of boosting the GPU to a higher power state when running CUDA applications. Setting this environment variable to '1' will disable the boost.
- Fixed an issue that caused the vfio-pci module to soft lockup after powering off a VM with passed-through NVIDIA GPUs.
- Fixed a recent regression which prevented HDMI FRL from working after hot unplugging and replugging a display.
- Fixed a bug that caused Rage2 to crash when loading the game menu:

- Fixed a bug that could cause some HDMI displays to remain blank after unplugging and re-plugging the display.
- Fixed an issue that would prevent large resolution or high refresh rate modes like 7680x2160p@240hz from being available when using HDMI FRL or DisplayPort.
