Linux graphics card drivers

• Added support for the following GPUs:
  GeForce RTX 3070 Ti
  GeForce RTX 3080 Ti

• Updated the nvidia-settings command line interface to confirm successful assignment of string attributes. This makes the behavior more consistent with other types of attribute assignments.
• Fixed a bug that could cause flickering in Blender and Steam when running on Xwayland.
• Fixed a bug that caused GTK+3 applications using the GtkGLArea class to crash when running on Xwayland.
• Added a workaround for DOOM Eternal, which avoids an application bug where Vulkan swapchain recreation events are not properly handled. On desktops like GNOME where the window is initially redirected to the compositor, this may prevent the game from flipping (and thus enabling G-SYNC).
• Added a workaround for Far Cry 5 when run through DXVK, which avoids a shader race condition bug that was previously exposed by new compiler optimizations.
• Increased the maximum limit on concurrent OpenGL contexts. This limit was previously constrained by a fixed-size internal driver resource, and is now constrained by available system memory.
• Applications that exceed the maximum limit on concurrent OpenGL contexts will now receive a BadAlloc X error rather than crashing.
• Fixed a bug that could cause the X server to crash upon shutdown with some configurations using GPU screens.
• Fixed a bug that could cause rendering errors when displaying scaled MetaModes using the «Nearest» resampling method.
• Fixed a bug that could cause OpenGL applications run in PID namespaces to hang upon exit, generating warnings such as the following in the X log: (WW) NVIDIA: Wait for channel idle timed out.
• Added support for PRIME Display Offload where both the display offload source and display offload sink are driven by the NVIDIA X Driver.
• Added support for PRIME Display Offload where the display offload source is AMDGPU.
• Fixed a bug that could prevent the driver from applying application profiles when running applications through Proton or Wine on a PRIME Render Offload configuration.
• Fixed a bug that could cause NvFBC’s «direct capture» to crash the X server when certain GLX calls are made during a capture.
• Removed usage of the sysctl(2) system call as a fallback for procfs in nvidia-installer. This system call has been deprecated since Linux 2.6.24, and has been removed completely with recent versions of Linux and glibc.
• Added an NVIDIA NGX build for use with Proton and Wine. A new library, nvngx.dll, has been added to enable driver-side support for running Windows applications which make use of DLSS. Changes to Proton, Wine, and other third-party software are needed for this feature.
• Added support for VK_QUEUE_GLOBAL_PRIORITY_REALTIME_EXT from the VK_EXT_global_priority extension. This enables support for asynchronous reprojection in SteamVR.
  VK_QUEUE_GLOBAL_PRIORITY_REALTIME_EXT is supported on Pascal GPUs and newer.
  Global priorities other than VK_QUEUE_GLOBAL_PRIORITY_MEDIUM_EXT require root privileges or the CAP_SYS_NICE capability.
• Added support for the VK_EXT_global_priority_query extension.
• Added the nvidia-peermem.ko kernel module. This module provides Mellanox InfiniBand HCAs (Host Channel Adapters) direct peer-to-peer access access to NVIDIA GPU memory without need without needing to copy data to to host memory.
  See the chapter «GPUDirect RDMA Peer Memory Client» in the README for details.
• Added support for the VK_EXT_provoking_vertex extension.
• Initial support for hardware accelerated OpenGL and Vulkan rendering on Xwayland. See the chapter «OpenGL and Vulkan on Xwayland» in the README for details.
• Fixed a bug that could cause intermittent corruption in Wolfenstein: Youngblood when using NVIDIA Kepler, Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta GPUs.
• Fixed a bug that could cause games running with DXVK to crash with Xid 31 (MMU Fault) errors when using NVIDIA Pascal GPUs.
• Added support for the VK_EXT_extended_dynamic_state2 extension.
• Added support for the VK_EXT_color_write_enable extension.
• Added support for the VK_EXT_vertex_input_dynamic_state extension.
• Added support for the VK_EXT_ycbcr_2plane_444_formats extension.
• Added support for the VK_NV_inherited_viewport_scissor extension.
• NvFBC’s «direct capture» mode no longer causes flipping to be disabled for applications being captured. G-SYNC can now also be used simultaneously with NvFBC direct capture.
• Deprecated NvIFROpenGL support.Release 470 will be the last to support this functionality.NvIFROpenGL header files, samples and documentation were removed from the NVIDIA Capture SDK 7.1.9 release.Future drivers will remove libnvidia-ifr.so and any other reference to NvIFROpenGL.
  For details please see: https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-video-codec-sdk
• Fixed a bug that prevented Vulkan direct-to-display from working when DRM KMS is enabled.
• Enabled the NVIDIA driver, by default, to attempt to initialize SLI when using GPUs with different amounts of video memory. Previously, this was only available when bit 1 was set in the «Coolbits» X config option.
• Updated GPU fan control to be available by default in nvidia-settings and NV-CONTROL, for GPU boards that support programmable fan control. Previously, this was only available when bit 2 was set in the «Coolbits» X config option.
• Fixed an issue where vkCreatePipeline would sometimes crash when the shaders contained resources with no set/binding.
• Fixed a memory fault in the Vulkan driver when using some smaller dimensions of sparse images.
• Fixed an issue with vkCmdSetViewport when firstViewport is non-zero.
• Fixed handling of VK_DESCRIPTOR_BINDING_VARIABLE_DESCRIPTOR_COUNT_BIT for variable size descriptor bindings.
• Added gsp.bin firmware file which is used to offload the GPU initialization and management tasks on some GPUs. See the «GSP Firmware» chapter in the README for more information.
• Worked around a bug in Meson builds of libglvnd 1.3.0 that caused the nvidia_icd.json file to be installed in the wrong location.

Note that many Linux distributions provide their own packages of the NVIDIA Linux Graphics Driver in the distribution’s native package management format. This may interact better with the rest of your distribution’s framework, and you may want to use this rather than NVIDIA’s official package.

Also note that SuSE users should read the SuSE NVIDIA Installer HOWTO before downloading the driver.

Installation instructions: Once you have downloaded the driver, change to the directory containing the driver package and install the driver by running, as root, sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-470.57.02.run

One of the last installation steps will offer to update your X configuration file. Either accept that offer, edit your X configuration file manually so that the NVIDIA X driver will be used, or run nvidia-xconfig

Note that the list of supported GPU products is provided to indicate which GPUs are supported by a particular driver version. Some designs incorporating supported GPUs may not be compatible with the NVIDIA Linux driver: in particular, notebook and all-in-one desktop designs with switchable (hybrid) or Optimus graphics will not work if means to disable the integrated graphics in hardware are not available. Hardware designs will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, so please consult with a system’s manufacturer to determine whether that particular system is compatible.

4 Best Graphics Cards for Linux Users

May 27, 2020
Comment

Are you in the market for a new Linux compatible graphics card to game with? Unable to decide on what to buy? We can help! Follow along as we go over the 4 best graphics cards for Linux users!

On Microsoft Windows, no matter what graphics card you install, it will work. The reason? Microsoft Windows is the most widely used PC operating system in the world, and companies take it seriously by working with Microsoft to deliver the latest drivers.

Linux Graphics Card Drivers explained

With Linux, this is a different story. Not every graphics card you plug into your Linux operating system will work. Why is this? Graphics cards (Nvidia) require proprietary drivers to operate correctly. Linux is an open-source platform, and many Linux operating systems choose not to ship closed-source drivers out of fear of being sued, or because out of principle, they believe their users shouldn’t be using proprietary drivers.

For this reason, many in the Linux community prefer to use AMD Radeon GPUs. Their drivers are open-source, included in the Linux kernel, and require no fiddling to get things working.

If you choose to buy one of the Nvidia graphics cards on this list, you should know that though they are impressive hardware, you will need to install a third-party graphics driver to utilize its features thoroughly. Nvidia graphics cards requiring third-party drivers doesn’t mean they’re a terrible choice. On most Linux gaming benchmarks, they perform very well. However, be sure to research the Linux operating system you use to determine if they support Nvidia and whether you think it’s a good deal to trade ease of driver installation for gaming performance.

Best Linux compatible graphics cards

Based on our extensive testing we found these to be the top graphics cards for Linux.

1. AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT

The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT is the premiere gaming GPU from AMD. It has an incredible amount of video memory, clocking in at 8 GB GDDR6. Additionally, the RX 5700 XT is incredibly fast, at up to 1925 MHz, ensuring your Linux gaming is smooth and buttery.

When it comes to outputs, the RX 5700 XT sports 3 DisplayPort ones, and 1 HDMI 2.0b port. Best of all, as it is a Radeon, the Linux kernel supports it with open-source graphics drivers, and there is no need to fiddle with it to get it to work on even the most obscure distributions!

In our testing, we found that the RX 5700 XT handled every Linux video game out of the box in beautiful ultra-HD resolution. However, there are some hiccups here and there due to the limitations of the open-source AMD graphics drivers.

Notable features

• Fast GDDR6 video memory with a 256-bit memory interface.
• GPU boost clocked at 1925 MHz.
• Works out of the box with no issues on Linux with the AMD drivers built into the kernel.
• It can be used for Cryptocurrency mining.
• Very low power consumption.

The Radeon RX5700 XT is not a cheap video card. It’s a little on the pricey side. However, if you’re looking for an excellent graphics card that works well with the open-source Linux ecosystem and can deliver excellent gaming graphics, this is the one to pick up!

2. XFX Radeon RX 580 GTS XXX Edition

The XFX Radeon RX 580 GTS XXX Edition is not as powerful as the Radeon RX 5700 XT. It has a significantly lower clock speed (1386 MHz, rather than 1925 MHz on the 5700 XT), and though it has the same amount of video memory, it is GDDR5 and not GDDR6. However, it’s specifications are nothing to laugh at. It can deliver amazing gaming graphics on Linux.

When it comes to ports, the XFX Radeon RX 580 GTS XXX Edition has quite a lot of them. Like many other modern GPUs, it has 3 DisplayPort ports available for the user to use. It also has a single HDMI port and a single DVI port.

In our testing, we found that the XFX Radeon RX 580 GTS XXX Edition handled Linux gaming with ease in HD resolution, and only suffered minor hiccups due to some games being designed with “Nvidia” in mind.

Notable features

• includes the 4th Gen GCN graphics cores for maximum performance.
• Support for Cryptocurrency mining.
• Works out of the box with AMD’s open-source graphics card drivers.
• Very low power consumption.

The main reason a Linux gamer may want to go with the Radeon RX 580 GTS XXX Edition over the Radeon 5700 XT is simple: cost. The 5700 XT is a nice card, but the RX 580 GTS XXX Edition is much, much more affordable. So, if you’re on a budget, and like the idea of using a Radeon card on Linux, due to how easy they are to get going but can’t afford an ultra-high-end card, give the RX 580 GTS XXX Edition look!

3. ASUS TURBO Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super

AMD may be a favorite to Linux gamers that don’t like to fuss with drivers, but Nvidia GPUs on Linux are amazing too. Introducing the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super. It’s a gaming powerhouse!

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super’s specifications are incredible, offering up 8 GBs of DDR6 video memory, 1800 MHz clock speed, and 2560 Nvidia CUDA cores. In terms of outputs, the GeForce RTX 2070 Super has 1 HDMI port, and 3 DisplayPorts, which is standard in modern, high-end GPUs. Additionally, the GPU is an “RTX” card, which means that it will support all games that have “Nvidia RTX” raytracing technology!

While using the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super, we found that it ran every Linux video game with no issue, provided the third-party proprietary graphics drivers were installed. While using the open-source drivers, the performance was significantly worse.

Notable features

• Supports real-time raytracing technology (RTX).
• Fast GDDR6 video memory with “boost clock” of 1800 MHz.
• 2560 Nvidia CUDA cores ensure stellar graphic rendering.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super is one of Nvidia’s more affordable high-end graphics cards. Instead of costing a month’s rent, you’ll be able to get it for a moderately high price. However, the cost is worth it, as Nvidia is the master of high-end graphics cards!

4. Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1650 Super

The Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1650 Super is a 4GB, inexpensive, middle of the road GPU from Nvidia. Unlike the RTX 2070 Super, the GTX 1650 Super only offers users 4 GB of DDR6 video RAM, rather than 8 GB. It also has a lower clock speed, coming in at 1200 Mhz. That said, the GTX 1650 Super is an excellent mid-range Nvidia GPU, especially for Linux users who love Nvidia but do not need anything that high end.

As the GTX 1650 Super is on the mid-range side, it does not have the standard 3 DisplayPort/1 HDMI port setup. Instead, the GTX 1650 Super offers users 1 DisplayPort, 1 HDMI port, and one DVI port.

While using the GeForce GTX 1650 Super, we found that it handled most video games at medium to high quality at a decent resolution. While using the Nvidia proprietary graphics driver, games performed well. With the open-source driver, things were less stable and ran at a slightly lower framerate.

Notable features

• The slim design makes it ideal for mid-range, small workstation desktops.
• It has a DVI port, something many users still value.
• Although it only has 4 GBs of video memory, it is GDDR6, which allows it to perform much faster than competing middle of the road GPUs.

When it comes down to it, the GTX 1650 Super is a great graphics card for those that are looking to game casually, don’t mind dealing with Nvidia graphics drivers, and do not want to spend a whole lot of cash.

Conclusion

In this list, we covered the best GPUs to use on Linux. That said, there are loads of great graphics cards out there that work well with the Linux platform. What graphics card do you use on Linux? Sound off in the comment section and let us know!
