Along with the release of the new NVIDIA 560 series of GPUs, the installer for the driver includes the new NVIDIA open-source GPU kernel modules. Two years ago, NVIDIA released the first GPU driver to include kernel modules with the goal of replacing the proprietary, closed-source drivers. Since then, the modules have matured enough that the NVIDEO 560 series will default to the open-source kernel modules.As well, these new modules aim to add support for the EGL_KHR_platform_x11 and EGL_EXT_platform_xcb extensions for Xwayland as well as a PipeWire backend to enable NvFBC to work with Wayland compositors. Other highlights include support for multiple concurrent clients to NvFBC direct capture, support for DRM-DMS explicit synchronization via the IN_FENCE_FD mode, support for Variable Refresh Rates for Wayland with pre-Volta GPUs, as well as plenty of bug fixes.The new NVIDIA installer will default to the new open-source kernel modules on systems with GPUs that support both proprietary and open kernel modules.Supported GPUs include GeForce RTX 40/30/20 series, MX500/400/300/200/100 series, GTX 16 series, GeForce 16/10 series, GeForce 900/900M/800M/700 series, and more.You can learn more about the new NVIDIA display driver in the official release notes.
