Arriving today, NVIDIA have their first bug-fix release of the year with the 410.93 driver as part of their longer supported series.

NVIDIA currently run a few different driver series, with the 410.93 driver being a "long-lived branch release". This means it will see bug fixes for a longer period, while not adding in breaking changes which would be reserved for their short-lived branch releases.

Here's what's changed in 410.93:

Added support for the following GPUs: Quadro RTX 8000

Fixed a bug that could prevent display detection from working on displays connected to some notebook docking stations.

Fixed a bug which could cause VK_KHR_external_semaphore_fd operations to fail.

Fixed a build failure, "implicit declaration of function

'vm_insert_pfn'", when building the NVIDIA DRM kernel module for Linux

'vm_insert_pfn'", when building the NVIDIA DRM kernel module for Linux kernel 4.20 release candidates. Fixed a build failure, "unknown type name 'ipmi_user_t'", when building the NVIDIA kernel module for Linux kernel 4.20 release candidates.

Fixed a bug that caused kwin OpenGL compositing to crash when launching certain OpenGL applications.

Added a new kernel module parameter, NVreg_RestrictProfilingToAdminUsers, to allow restricting the use of GPU performance counters to system administrators only. Find it on the official NVIDIA site or wait for your distribution to get updated packages through your usual method.
