NVIDIA 560 Linux Driver Beta Released - Defaults To Open GPU Kernel Modules


NVIDIA today released their first Linux beta driver in the new R560 driver release branch

As expected, with the NVIDIA 560 Linux driver for Turing and newer GPUs with the GPU System Processor (GSP), the NVIDIA Open GPU kernel modules are preferred by default on driver installation rather than the proprietary kernel modules. With the NVIDIA 560.28.03 Linux driver, Variable Rate Refresh (VRR) is now working for notebooks on the open kernel modules as a previously missing feature now addressed. The 560 driver also adds a PipeWire backend to NvFBC so that it works with most Wayland compositors supporting screencasting via the XDG Desktop Portal.
