14 DAY TRIAL // NVIDIA has made available new versions of its Vulkan GeForce Graphics driver, namely 383.18 beta (for Windows) and 381.26.20 (for Linux), which fix handling of SPIR-V SSBO layout qualifiers, as well as the atomic operations on some 64-bit types.
In addition to that, the release resolves issues with “subpass dstSubpass=VK_SUBPASS_EXTERNAL,” “vkRegisterObjectsNVX,” and “VK_EXT_sample_ atributes,” and improves NVX_multiview_per_view_attributes and geometry passthrough shaders.
When it comes to Linux systems alone, the appropriate files will improve the flipping performance of fullscreen Vulkan applications using X11 swapchains.
As for the supported GPUs, this release is valid for certain models of NVIDIA’s Quadro, GeForce 1000, GeForce 900, GeForce 700, and GeForce 600 lineup, as well as for some Quadro Notebook and GeForce 900M, 800M, 700M, and 600M series graphics cards.
Moreover, take into account that the current update is compatible with both 32- and 64-bit variants of Microsoft’s Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 platforms, as well as with Linux operating systems. Do not try applying on other configurations as this can lead to malfunctions.
In terms of installation, first ensure your GPU model is supported by this release, save the appropriate package compatible with your operating system, run it, and wait for the wizard to extract all files required for the upgrade.
Afterward, simply follow all on-screen instructions for a complete and successful installation. Also, it would be a good idea to perform a system reboot to allow all changes to take effect properly.
