NVIDIA released Beta driver 595.45.04 for Linux and it includes support for some new Vulkan extensions that could help improve gaming performance.

This update, among other things, adds support for VK_EXT_descriptor_heap, which should bring significant performance boost to Nvidia cards, once it’s properly implemented.

        I’d recommend avoiding NVidia in general. Their drivers are intensely hit or miss. Any time anything has gone wrong with my PC, NVidia and their shitty drivers have been the culprit.

          This seems unlikely. You’ve never had a hard drive failure, bad RAM, missing dependencies, malware or bugs in any other software except NVIDIA?

          You must be one heck of a statistical outlier.

            In the past two years? Nope, entirely NVidia. There’s been a bunch of problems, absolutely, but it’s always been NVidia’s garbage drivers at the core of it.

              2 years without a non-video card related problem? I don’t think I go 2 weeks without some issue or another (Arch life).

                Literally haven’t had a single problem on arch that was due to arch in like 6 years.

                Nvidia has caused more issues then arch has.

                  Are you guys LLMs? This is English but it doesn’t seem to have any correlation to actual reality.
