Nvidia 595 Stable Out - Lemmy.ca

> Added support for the VK_EXT_descriptor_heap extension. Now we just wait for it to get implemented in Proton to finally have decent DX12 performance on Nvidia on Linux.

Improved support for falling back to system memory when available video memory is low, to help prevent Wayland desktop freezes.

I feel like this is pretty big! forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/…/260304

Non-existent shared VRAM on NVIDIA Linux drivers

The NVIDIA Linux driver doesn’t handle the VRAM sharing with the system RAM. What I’m exactly referring to is this: Windows 10 Task Manager in GPU section As can be seen, there is the “Dedicated GPU memory” and the “Shared GPU memory” that is actual system RAM but shared with the GPU, so in case the GPU runs out of VRAM, the system or game doesn’t simply crash or have a drop in FPS.
