Release: 0.7.16
Recommended nVidia proprietary driver branch 550+ for best compatibility with OptiX and CUDA.
CUDA SDK >11.5 should now mostly be supported. There can still be missing functions
Running CUFFT samples with CUDA 12.3 or higher is known to crash.
Older drivers that does not support SDK 10 and older may also fail/crash. Report any crashes with
logs on the issue page. However these are highly outdated drivers in general and will probably not
see too much attention in that regard.
Create logs typically with: WINEDEBUG=-all,+nvcuda wine ./yourapp.exe > yourapp.log 2>&1
Library contains:
nvapi (dxvk-nvapi)
nvcuda (staging)
nvml (wine-nvml)
nvoptix (wine-nvoptix)

You can install symlinks and dll-overrides to the libraries in your wineprefix like this:
WINEPREFIX=/your/wine/prefix ./setup_nvlibs.sh install
To uninstall:
WINEPREFIX=/your/wine/prefix ./setup_nvlibs.sh uninstall
In order to use DXVK-NVAPI (NvAPI) with some extra GPU information (temps and the likes)
you need to copy the NVML binaries to your wine binaries folder. You can do this by
running the included nvml_setup.sh script. NVML is only available as 64-bit
See the Readme_nvml.txt file.
You can run tests of your adapter and functions by running the test case file:
WINEPREFIX=/your/wine/prefix wine bin/nvapi64-tests.exe
PS. You must install said libraryfile in your WINEPREFIX (see above)
You can drop-in the libraries in Proton8 - Experimental or GE-Proton-8 or newer like this:
PROTON_LIBS='$HOME/.steam/compatibilitytools.d/Proton-8.27-GE' ./proton_setup.sh
This will replace or add the libs to Proton for use with games.
The installscript is no longer compatible with older Proton-6.3 or Proton-GE-6/7 versions.
OBS!
You can add:
"DXVK_ENABLE_NVAPI": "1",
"PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI": "1",
to your user_settings.py script in the proton folder eg:
PROTON_LIBS='$HOME/.steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton-8.27/user_settings.py'
Or you can run the game with PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 DXVK_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command%
Some additional tweaks may be required depending on game used and version of Proton.
