([NVIDIA] 6 Hours Ago NVIDIA 590.48.01)


NVIDIA has promoted their R590 driver series to stable with the release today of the NVIDIA 590.48.01 Linux driver as their latest new feature branch version.

Earlier this month NVIDIA published the [1]590.44.01 Linux driver beta that brought Wayland improvements, Vulkan driver fixes, and other mostly low-level changes. The NVIDIA 590 driver series is also what's [2]dropping the aging GeForce GTX 900 / GTX 1000 series support .

Out today is the NVIDIA 590.48.01 Linux driver that takes R590 out of beta. Compared to the prior beta release, there are just a handful of EGL platform bug fixes around multi-sample configurations. No other new changes are noted with this NVIDIA 590.48.01 stable release.

The NVIDIA 590.48.01 Linux driver can be downloaded at [3]NVIDIA.com .

A novice asked the master: "In the east there is a great tree-structure
that men call 'Corporate Headquarters'. It is bloated out of shape with
vice-presidents and accountants. It issues a multitude of memos, each saying
'Go, Hence!' or 'Go, Hither!' and nobody knows what is meant. Every year new
names are put onto the branches, but all to no avail. How can such an
unnatural entity exist?"
The master replies: "You perceive this immense structure and are
disturbed that it has no rational purpose. Can you not take amusement from
its endless gyrations? Do you not enjoy the untroubled ease of programming
beneath its sheltering branches? Why are you bothered by its uselessness?"
