NVIDIA has released the 594.45 beta Linux display driver for 64-bit systems, introducing Vulkan enhancements, improved power management, and various bug fixes.<\/p>\n

This update adds support for the VK_EXT_descriptor_heap and VK_EXT_present_timing Vulkan extensions, expanding functionality for developers and applications. NVIDIA has also improved Vulkan swapchain recreation performance to reduce stuttering when resizing application windows.<\/p>\n

This release also addresses gaming stability. It resolves a bug that caused GPU hangs and Xid errors in Black Myth: Wukong, and fixes an issue where Vulkan swapchains stopped presenting new frames on X11.<\/p>\n

The driver now supports DRI3 version 1.2 and enables the nvidia-drm kernel module\u2019s modeset=1 parameter by default, improving integration with modern Linux display systems. The update also raises the minimum supported Wayland version to 1.20 and glibc to 2.27, reflecting ongoing platform modernization.<\/p>\n

Linux x64 (AMD64\/EM64T) Display Driver 595.45 Beta<\/p>\n

This release includes improvements to system suspend and power management. With NVIDIA\u2019s open kernel modules and the NVreg_UseKernelSuspendNotifiers=1 parameter enabled, the nvidia.ko module now manages video memory preservation directly. For proprietary kernel modules, suspend and resume notifications continue to use the \/proc\/driver\/nvidia\/suspend interface.<\/p>\n

Other notable changes include a new CudaNoStablePerfLimit application profile, which allows CUDA workloads to reach the P0 performance state. The update also enables nvidia-smi to reset GPUs while the nvidia-drm module is loaded with modesetting enabled, as long as no processes are using the GPU.<\/p>\n

The release also resolves several desktop-related issues, including a bug that prevented the PowerMizer preferred mode dropdown in nvidia-settings from working on Wayland, and an issue that could cause adaptive sync displays to go blank when connected through active USB-C-to-HDMI adapters.<\/p>\n
