The Latest NVIDIA Linux Driver Release.

Daedra · 01-05-2023, 06:10 PM

I kind of hate myself for buying it. I am enabling this absurd pricing this generation, but I had a $100 BB gift card, BB had a $120 off promo code with 18 months no interest, and I can sell my 3060ti to recoup some cost, so I caved in and pulled the trigger.

Just a quick note that this version builds fine with kernel 6.2-rc (at least for me!)

Been running it for a few days now. The thing is an absolute beast and it is way overkill for my MSI PS321QR 2k monitor. But I don't plan on building a new rig for at least another 4 years, so I feel with this card I am good for quite a while. I have had zero stability issues with it so far.

@Daedra
Thought of doing one of the UniEngine tests?

I'm so jealous ( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ )

First time in 26 years I've used an anti-sag bracket. The thing is massive.

There is a tool switcheroo-control which you can launch applications with GPU by right clicking on the icon and choosing: Launch using Discrete Graphics Card.
Its a Gnome tool and I use it in my Slackware current installation {Gnome 42.8}.
I use @lancsuk slackbuilds
We dont know if it running ok for Gnome 41 which is the version at the moment that Slackbuilds.org repo support for Slackware 15.
If there are slackers with Slackware15 and Hybrid Graphics card (optimus) maybe you can test it if you have Gnome 41 from Slackbuilds.
If its working properly like in current @lancsuk will maintain it in Slackbuilds repo, else it will push it when Slackware 15.1 is out...

An example how it works here. Not good record but you can get the point.
By just right click user open, steam, stremio, Benchmark, vlc... and using the second card (nvidia) for those progress...

edit: Dont try it in Vbox its not working there...
edit2: For Gnome 42.x in current my slackpkg/blacklist has 2 packages inside (upower,gjs) thats all..

525.85.05 builds fine, installs fine. Seems to do OK with slackware-current, except for the console bug, which wasn't fixed.

Are you using uefi or legacy booting?
