NVIDIA 575.57.08 Linux Stable Driver Released With Smooth Motion & Other Updates

([NVIDIA] 5 Hours Ago NVIDIA 575.57.08)


NVIDIA just released their v575.57.08 driver as the first stable Linux driver in their R575 release branch.

Back in mid-April, NVIDIA released the [1]NVIDIA 575 Linux driver beta with Smooth Motion support, new DRM plane properties, various XWayland fixes, and other refinements and feature additions over the R570 series. NVIDIA Smooth Motion is an AI-based driver feature for GeForce RTX 50 "Blackwell" GPUs to enhance gameplay fluidity by inferring additional frame data between two rendered frames.

Now for closing out May, the NVIDIA 575.57.08 Linux driver is released as the first stable R575 Linux release. Over last month's R575 beta there are just two fixes noted in today's release announcement. A bug has been fixed around increased memory use in X11 OpenGL and Vulkan applications following suspend/resume cycles. There is also a fix around OpenGL applications and compositors stalling when using NVIDIA as a PRIME Display Offload sink. No other changes are noted for this new driver version over last month's beta.

This new NVIDIA R575 Linux packaged driver version can be downloaded at [2]NVIDIA.com .

Microsoft ActivePromo Campaign: "Frequent Upgrade Points"

Microsoft's PR masterminds are planning a massive marketing campaign,
code-named "ActivePromo 2000", to promote the upcoming release of Windows
2000 (scheduled for February 2001). This marketing campaign will include a
"Frequent Upgrade Points" promotion.

Customers who purchase upgrades to Windows, Office, or other Microsoft
"solutions" will receive "frequent upgrade points" (FUPs) when they register
online. These points, like Frequent Flyer Miles, can be redeemed in the
future for discounts on other Microsoft upgrades. This program, combined
with the fact that older versions of some Microsoft programs have glaring
Y2K problems, should be enough to convince many people to shell out big
bucks to upgrade to a more bloated Microsoft operating system. The company
hopes to eradicate 99% of Windows 3.x installations by 2003.
