Source: nvidia-graphics-drivers Version: 545.23.06-2 Severity: wishlist According to https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/drivers/unix/ the 545 branch has been superseded by:
* Latest Production Branch Version: 550.78 * Latest New Feature Branch Version: 560.35.03 I'm not completely clear on which of these is suitable for experimental and which is suitable for testing/unstable, but it would be great if the v545 packaging in experimental could be replaced with one of those. According to https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/tesla/drivers/index.html#cuda-drivers the 535 branch is still the current long-term-support branch for data centre use, and 550 is the shorter-lifetime production branch for data centre use (but I don't know whether that has any impact on the support lifetime of the corresponding consumer drivers, and 535 is no longer listed on https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/drivers/unix/ at all, which might indicate that it's no longer a supported version for consumer/gaming use-cases). I would guess the most appropriate thing might be 550 in experimental first, possibly followed by 550 in unstable and 560 in experimental? There are indications that Vulkan games like Dota 2, when running on newer GPUs, might need a newer driver than the v535 that we currently have in Debian: <https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Dota-2/issues/2787>. But I don't have an affected GPU, so I'm unable to confirm that. Thanks, smcv
