NVIDIA 575.51.02 Linux Driver Beta Released With Smooth Motion Support
With today's launch of the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics card, NVIDIA has also introduced their first Linux driver beta in the R575 driver series.
The NVIDIA 575.51.02 Linux driver beta is public today as the first test release of this new driver feature series. The new driver extends the __NV_DISABLE_EXPLICIT_SYNC behavior to GLX and Vulkan apps, supports GLX front-buffer rendering on XWayland, fixes a Minecraft crash under XWayland, support for the color range and color encoding DRM plane properties, adds support for NVIDIA Smooth Motion, and brings various other bug fixes.
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.
Downloads and more details on the NVIDIA 575.51.02 Linux driver beta via NVIDIA.com. The driver release notes don't mention it but presumably this beta driver also brings official GeForce RTX 5060 series support and I'm now checking that out to verify Linux games hopefully working nicely on the RTX 5060 Ti (Update: Yes this new driver is working well on the PNY RTX 5060 Ti 16GB... Should have out Linux gaming benchmarks now on Friday).
