NVIDIA has rolled out its newest Linux display driver update, version 570.124. It is already available for download and is recommended for users seeking the latest improvements for their graphics hardware.
The new version addresses multiple bugs that previously hindered smooth operation, particularly when resuming from suspend on systems with multiple monitors.
Additionally, gamers and content creators who rely on variable refresh rate technology on HDMI displays will be thrilled to learn that VRR is now fully functional again—so no more unexpected stutters or frame drops.
Further highlights include fixing the stuttering and performance hiccups sometimes experienced when scrolling windows in Wayland with GSP firmware enabled.
Similarly, the release addresses corruption or application crashes that previously plagued PRIME render offloading on certain configurations, guaranteeing a smoother graphical experience overall.
NVIDIA 570.124 Linux display driver has also introduced a new kernel module parameter, conceal_vrr_caps, within the nvidia-modeset kernel module. It can be crucial for users who want to enable features like Ultra Low Motion Blur (ULMB) on displays that do not play well with VRR.
Furthermore, the driver incorporates numerous improvements from the previous beta release and brings in extended support for features like VRR on systems with multiple displays and Vulkan extensions (e.g., VK_KHR_incremental_present).
Last but not least, updates to the nvidia-settings control panel enable GPU clock and fan control via NVML—particularly useful for Wayland users who require system-level privileges to unlock the full array of performance settings.
