@nullmoth nullmoth released this 21 Oct 21:38
  • Built on NVIDIA's 615.78.08 driver (from 610.57.04): NVIDIA's own kernel driver, display code and GSP firmware for every card, with all of NVIDIA's fixes since 610, including the blocky corruption in The Last of Us Part II.
  • New cards: NVIDIA T400, T500, T550, T600, T1000 and T1200 (desktop and laptop), and the second RTX 5070 device ID.
  • The GPU's identity now comes from the PDI NVIDIA stores in the card's PCIe configuration space, the way NVIDIA's driver reads it; older boards fall back to the previous method.
  • NVIDIA's driver options work on macOS: the boot-arg nvregdwords=Key=Value;Key=Value is NVIDIA's NVreg_RegistryDwords, read by NVIDIA's own parser. nvregdwords=RmDisableDisplayGlitchPerfLimit=1 is NVIDIA's new lower idle power with several monitors (it can glitch the display briefly when clocks change).
  • 12-bit HDMI deep colour: the boot-arg nvmaxbpc=12 allows it on displays that report it. The default stays at 10 bits, as NVIDIA ships it.
