Going into beta just under one month ago was the NVIDIA 570.86.16 Linux driver that brought initial support for GeForce RTX 50 “Blackwell” graphics cards as well as Vulkan driver improvements, Variable Rate Refresh (VRR) support with multiple displays, GPU overclocking exposed by default, and various other refinements to this official NVIDIA Linux driver. Out today is the NVIDIA 570.124.04 stable Linux driver release.
Over last month’s NVIDIA 570 Linux beta, today’s 570.124.04 driver revision is mostly about shipping various fixes that have come up in the past few weeks. Besides a handful of fixes, the only other new “feature” is the conceal_vrr_caps kernel module option if wanting to conceal some display features such as if they are causing system issues or breaking other feature compatibility such as with VRR.
The NVIDIA 570.124.04 Linux driver changes include:
– Fixed a bug that could prevent displays from being restored correctly when resuming from suspend on some systems with multiple displays.
– Fixed a regression which stopped VRR from working on HDMI displays.
– Fixed an issue which caused stuttering and performance issues when scrolling windows in Wayland with GSP firmware enabled.
– Fixed a bug that resulted in corruption or application crashes when using PRIME render offloading between two NVIDIA GPUs with modeset=1 enabled in nvidia-drm.
– Added a new kernel module parameter, ‘conceal_vrr_caps’, to the nvidia-modeset kernel module. This parameter may be used to enable usage of features on some displays such as ULMB (Ultra Low Motion Blur) which are incompatible with VRR. See the “Direct Rendering Manager Kernel Modesetting” (DRM KMS) chapter of the README for further information.
