NVIDIA is kicking off the new week with their first Linux driver beta in the R610 driver series that is succeeding the current R595 release branch.<\/p>\n

Today’s NVIDIA 610.43.02 Linux driver release brings support for several more Vulkan extensions including VK_EXT_shader_long_vector, VK_KHR_internally_synchronized_queues, and VK_NV_push_constant_bank. The NVIDIA Vulkan driver also now allows creating Vulkan logical devices from multiple physical devices on select cards using the VK_KHR_device_group_creation extension after enabling this support via the __VK_ENABLE_DEVICE_GROUPS=1 extension.\n<\/p>\n

The NVIDIA R610 Linux driver has also fixed a performance regression in Doom: The Dark Ages affecting Vulkan since the R590 series and also improved the performance for the game Starfield.\n<\/p>\n

Making the NVIDIA R610 driver all the more exciting is also adding support for FP16 EGL frame-buffer configurations on Wayland, support for DRM format modifiers for multi-planar YCbCr formats, and support for mmap() on DMA-BUF file descriptors exported from discrete NVIDIA GPUs.\n<\/p>\n

Exciting on the display side is the NVIDIA DRM kernel driver now supporting the per-plane DRM Color Pipeline API supported since the upstream Linux 6.19 kernel. This allows the NVIDIA driver on Wayland to now offload color management nicely to NVIDIA display hardware.

With the NVIDIA R610 driver, NVIDIA has also decided to remove Xinerama support from the NVIDIA X11 driver.<\/p>\n
