Heads up (New Linux Driver Version)

It seems that a lot of GPU problems revolve around specific versions of drivers. Though NVidia has their own support structure, you can often learn from information reported by others who fold.

Heads up (New Linux Driver Version)

Post by psaam0001 »

NVidia has released a new "long lived" version of their drivers for Linux users (460.32.03).

Please read the release highlights, to see if any of the issues that you may be having are covered by this updated version.

https://www.NVidia.com/drivers (Note: I fixed the link--PS).

Just to let everybody know, I've updated two days ago the Nvidia drivers to these 460.32.03 from 455.45.01 under Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS on my main folding rig (RTX 3060 Ti and GTX 1660 Super GPU, X570 MB, Ryzen 5 3600).
I haven't met any issue so far, and performance is unchanged.

Humm, the link to Nvidia's site gives me this message "Even AI can't find this page!" maybe the link needs to be updated?

After the driver was updated to version 460 using the regular Ubuntu/Mint package manager, my GPU folding slot was disabled, and I had to manually install nvidia-compute-utils-460 (and remove older versions of nvidia-compute-utils package) to get GPU folding working again. Presumably the dependency between nvidia-dkms/nvidia-driver and nvidia-compute-utils isn't strong enough to have this happen automatically.
