NVIDIA 555.58 Stable Linux Driver Brings Wayland Explicit Sync, GSP Firmware Default
The NVIDIA 555.58 Linux driver has debuted this morning as the first stable version in the R555 driver series
The NVIDIA 555 Linux driver is the most exciting in recent times with offering Wayland explicit sync support, more stable Wayland support in general, and GSP firmware is now used by default on RTX 20 / Turing and newer GPUs where the GPU System Processor is present. The GSP firmware by default, Wayland explicit sync with the linux-drm-syncobj-v1 protocol, Vulkan Wayland WSI immediate presentation mode, HDMI 10-bits per component support by default, EGL as the OpenGL ICD for NvFBC, and other R555 features should all be in good shape. With this stable version now available, fresh benchmarks will be coming out soon on Phoronix along with looking at some new professional graphics cards.
