Package: nvidia-driver Version: 590.44.01-1 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: Andreas Beckmann <[email protected]>, [email protected]
In addition to all GPU archs supported by the current v550 (from Maxwell to Ada/Hopper), this version also supports the new Blackwell architecture, that is currently not supported by any officially Debian-packaged driver, which limits Debian's adoption on newer hardware. This version is also widely considered to be the most stable among those supporting Blackwell, as the subsequent v580 introduced numerous bugs that made it unusable for several hardware configurations (see the feedback thread on the Nvidia forum: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/580-release-feedback- discussion/341205 ). While v580 is the last one with support for Maxwell, Pascal and Volta archs, until the mentioned problems are fixed, v575 currently remains the best driver in 5xx series, supporting most hardware types and causing least issues. Also, it is impossible to predict how long it will take Nvidia to fix the outstanding issues in v580 to reach stability comparable to v575: it make take several months or even not happen at all.

If v575 cannot be packaged for Sid for whatever reasons, then please consider packaging it for Experimental series.
