For those of you sticking with older NVIDIA GPUs – you’re still getting some fixes with driver 580.173.02 released for Linux.

This is the last series to support the GeForce 700 Series, GeForce 800M Series (Notebooks), GeForce 900M Series (Notebooks), GeForce 900 Series, GeForce 10 Series (Notebooks) and GeForce 10 Series.

Highlights for this release include:

Fixed a bug that could prevent DKMS kernel module builds from succeeding after installing with nvidia-installer.
Fixed a bug that caused delayed wakeups when multiple threads wait on the same Vulkan semaphore, leading to stutter and reduced performance in some applications
Fixed a bug that could cause black screens after modesets in X11 applications using the Present extension.
Fixed an issue where OpenGL buffers allocated with glBufferStorage and no storage flags were allowed to migrate from GPU memory to host memory.

Nice to see you’re not completely left out in the cold.
