NVIDIA 590.48.01 Linux Driver Brings R590 Series To Stable

Written by Michael Larabel in NVIDIA on 18 December 2025 at 12:09 PM EST. 7 Comments
NVIDIA has promoted their R590 driver series to stable with the release today of the NVIDIA 590.48.01 Linux driver as their latest new feature branch version.

Earlier this month NVIDIA published the 590.44.01 Linux driver beta that brought Wayland improvements, Vulkan driver fixes, and other mostly low-level changes. The NVIDIA 590 driver series is also what's dropping the aging GeForce GTX 900 / GTX 1000 series support.

Out today is the NVIDIA 590.48.01 Linux driver that takes R590 out of beta. Compared to the prior beta release, there are just a handful of EGL platform bug fixes around multi-sample configurations. No other new changes are noted with this NVIDIA 590.48.01 stable release.
