Written by Michael Larabel in NVIDIA on 9 June 2025 at 06:00 AM EDT. 3 Comments
The open-source, unofficial VA-API driver implementation for NVIDIA GPUs is out with a new release. The NVIDIA-VAAPI-Driver project continues to build VA-API support atop NVIDIA's NVDEC interface to allow the NVIDIA proprietary driver stack to work with VA-API-only applications like the Mozilla Firefox web browser on Linux.

The NVIDIA-VAAPI-Driver 0.0.14 release on Sunday brings a fix to work with newer versions of the NVIDIA Linux driver stack. There are also fixes around 32-bit issues, taking care of uninitialized memory warnings, and various other fixes throughout. Compatibility with newer versions of the NVIDIA Linux driver is the main noteworthy item of this release.
