NVIDIA has released Linux x64 (AMD64/EM64T) Display Driver, which has been revised to resolve multiple issues, including memory usage concerns, stalling of OpenGL applications and compositors, as well as problems with GLX front buffer rendering and crashes in Minecraft. The driver now supports GLX front buffer rendering on Xwayland, fixes a bug that affects PRIME Render Offload when using NVIDIA GPUs for both rendering and display, and solves a problem that prevents VRR from working when changing an EDID. The driver provides support for NVIDIA Smooth Motion, enables Dynamic Boost while notebook systems operate on battery power, and removes trailing whitespace from product names sent to the GPU's audio device as part of the EDID-Like Data.

AMD has announced the release of Radeon Software for Linux version 25.10.1, which introduces support for various ASIC SKUs and is compatible with RHEL 9.6 and SLES 15 SP7. The release incorporates modifications to the composition of Radeon Software for Linux, featuring official support for the Mesa Vulkan driver, Mesa OpenGL, and multimedia support, along with the removal of AMD proprietary OpenGL and Vulkan drivers. AMF users are encouraged to migrate to VA-API/Mesa Multimedia. The AMD Linux GPU drivers are open source and are incorporated into widely used Linux distributions. AMD advises utilizing AMD GPU Linux drivers provided by Linux distributions for a range of applications, including the use of AMD APU products with any widely used Linux distribution, AMD discrete GPU products, pre-installed notebooks or desktop PCs, and Linux distributions that are incompatible with Radeon Software for Linux.

The NVIDIA Linux x64 (AMD64/EM64T) Display Driver 570.124.04 of the production branch has been released, incorporating various bug fixes and enhancements. The release addresses several issues, including the proper restoration of displays upon resuming from suspend, the functionality of VRR on HDMI displays, stuttering and performance challenges when scrolling windows in Wayland with GSP firmware enabled, as well as corruption or application crashes occurring during PRIME render offloading between two NVIDIA GPUs with modeset=1 enabled in nvidia-drm. The kernel module parameter 'conceal_vrr_caps' has been incorporated into the nvidia-modeset kernel module, facilitating the utilization of features on certain displays that are not compatible with VRR.

The update also resolves an issue that led to the nvidia-settings control panel crashing when querying VRR attributes on certain monitors. Additionally, it enables default access to GPU overclocking control within nvidia-settings for compatible GPU boards that support programmable clock control. The driver provides support for querying Dynamic Boost status through the 'power' file located in /proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/*, as well as offering 32-bit compatibility for the NVIDIA GBM backend.

NVIDIA has released Linux x64 (AMD64/EM64T) Display Driver 565.77 to resolve multiple issues and enhance performance.

The driver has resolved an issue in i2c handling that led to the OpenRGB application displaying incorrect LED colors on certain NVIDIA GPUs. Under conditions of limited display bandwidth, the driver has modified the fallback preference from 10 BPC YUV422 to 8 BPC RGB with dithering. The driver has introduced a new application profile key, "GLVidHeapReuseRatio," which regulates the quantity of memory that OpenGL can retain for future reuse.
