Added support for the VK_EXT_descriptor_heap extension.
Now we just wait for it to get implemented in Proton to finally have decent DX12 performance on Nvidia on Linux.

“stable”
Remember starting grub by adding a 3 ( as in run level 3) to the end of the linux line will get you a terminal at least.
Improved support for falling back to system memory when available video memory is low, to help prevent Wayland desktop freezes.
I feel like this is pretty big! https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/non-existent-shared-vram-on-nvidia-linux-drivers/260304
Yes looking forward to this one too. Not sure if it will help, but Jedi survivor has some weird texture things going on due to VRAM requirements on Linux that I didn’t have on Windows. Possibly down to how this is treated.
Nice! I’ve been burned by this before.
In case anyone is running Noctalia shell, I can recommend the Performance mode which reduces memory and animations and stuff while enabled, so it is less taxing on resources while gaming. Then just disable when you stop gaming. 😗👌
I gave up on ever being able to use Wayland while having this Nvidia GPU. That sounds promising.
Can someone update Jensen’s drivers to something more stable?
That’s pretty cool. I finally just updated to 580. Guess I’m a little behind.
If you have something older than Titan RTX / 2080 Ti (TU162), you won’t get more updates
Ah, that’s probably what it is. Yeah, I have a 2060, and a 980Ti. I only upgrade components if I really have to. And so far, all of my games run fine. So, unless there is a Fallout 5 or some really cool co-op survival game my friends insist I need to get, I’m going to be rocking my 2060 and the 580 driver for a while. Next card will probably be an AMD, anyway.
With a 2060, you have a Turing card, which is still supported (it was released after the 2080). So you’re in luck :3
Sweet.
Well since it hasn’t been fully implemented in the DX12 to Vulkan translation layers, you aren’t missing out yet.
