• Fixed a bug which caused Dynamic Boost to not engage on certain Ampere GPU based notebooks.
• Added support for Dynamic Boost on notebooks with AMD CPUs.
• Fixed a bug that resulted in stutter when moving windows in GNOME.
• Added support for the EGL_MESA_platform_surfaceless extension.
• Updated the nvidia-settings control panel to prevent the creation of display layouts that exceed hardware size limitations when using the SLI Mosaic configuration page, and to display a warning if such a layout is created manually in the Display Configuration page.
• Removed the hard dependency on GTK 2 when building nvidia-settings from source. nvidia-settings may now be built with support for GTK 2 only, GTK 3 only, or both GTK 2 and GTK 3.
• Updated the open kernel modules to support Quadro Sync, Stereo, rotation in X11, and YUV 4:2:0 on Turing.
• Updated an error message that nvidia-installer displays when kernel header files cannot be found to print full paths for the missing files.
• Updated nvidia-installer to use "command -v" in place of depending on "which" to determine the availability and location of certain tools.
• Implemented support for over-the-air updates in the Proton and Wine NVIDIA NGX build. This feature is disabled by default and can be enabled by setting the "PROTON_ENABLE_NGX_UPDATER" environment variable to a value of "1".
• Updated the Vulkan driver so that the following extensions no longer depend on nvidia-uvm.ko being loaded at runtime:
  * VK_KHR_acceleration_structure
  * VK_KHR_deferred_host_operations
  * VK_KHR_ray_query
  * VK_KHR_ray_tracing_pipeline
  * VK_NV_cuda_kernel_launch
  * VK_NV_ray_tracing
  * VK_NV_ray_tracing_motion_blur
  * VK_NVX_binary_import
  * VK_NVX_image_view_handle
• Updated nvidia-installer to allow use of the "--add-this-kernel" feature by non-root users.
• Updated nvidia-installer to display a more accurate progress bar when building the kernel modules.
• Updated nvidia-installer to display a warning message if a Vulkan ICD loader is not detected.
• Reworked nvidia-installer's support for DKMS: the kernel modules will now be optionally registered with DKMS after the installer has already built and installed them on its own. nvidia-installer will now register the kernel modules with DKMS by default when the dkms(8) utility is detected on the system.
• Fixed a bug in the Vulkan driver which could lead to corruption in geometry and tessellation control shaders.
• Added a new CUDA Debugger implementation for Pascal and newer architectures as a part of the driver package: libcudadebugger.so (previously released separately as "CUDA GDB Developer Preview").
• Updated the nvidia-settings control panel to correctly limit the allowed values for GPUTargetFanSpeed to match the existing valid fan speed ranges for supported NVIDIA GPUs. The valid ranges are 30%-100% for Ampere or newer GPUs, and 1%-100% for older GPUs.
• Fixed a regression in 515.76 that caused blank screens and hangs when starting an X server on RTX 30 series GPUs in some configurations where the boot display is connected via HDMI.
• Fixed a bug where Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered would sometimes crash with Xid 13 errors on Turing and later.

Note that many Linux distributions provide their own packages of the NVIDIA Linux Graphics Driver in the distribution's native package management format. This may interact better with the rest of your distribution's framework, and you may want to use this rather than NVIDIA's official package.

Also note that SuSE users should read the SuSE NVIDIA Installer HOWTO before downloading the driver.

Installation instructions: Once you have downloaded the driver, change to the directory containing the driver package and install the driver by running, as root, sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-525.53.run

One of the last installation steps will offer to update your X configuration file. Either accept that offer, edit your X configuration file manually so that the NVIDIA X driver will be used, or run nvidia-xconfig

Note that the list of supported GPU products is provided to indicate which GPUs are supported by a particular driver version. Some designs incorporating supported GPUs may not be compatible with the NVIDIA Linux driver: in particular, notebook and all-in-one desktop designs with switchable (hybrid) or Optimus graphics will not work if means to disable the integrated graphics in hardware are not available. Hardware designs will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, so please consult with a system's manufacturer to determine whether that particular system is compatible.

See the README for more detailed instructions.
