14 DAY TRIAL // NVIDIA has made available new versions of its Vulkan GeForce Graphics driver, namely 425.89 beta (for Windows) and 418.52.14 (for Linux), which adds new extensions and improves compatibility with recently released Linux kernels.
As for the extensions, NVIDIA adds support for VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive, VK_EXT_shader_demote_to_helper_invocation, and VK_EXT_texel_buffer_alignment lines, as well as for the VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps command (but only for Linux).
When it comes to the supported GPUs, this release is valid for certain models of NVIDIA’s Turing, Volta, 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 only compatible with the 64-bit variant of Microsoft’s Windows 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.
