Disabled OpenGL threaded optimizations by default under Xinerama.
Added support for the ARB_parallel_shader_compile extension to allow multi-threaded compilation of GLSL shaders.
Updated the X driver to ignore any Virtual Reality Head Mounted Displays (HMDs). See the «AllowHMD» X configuration option in the README for details.
The driver will now advertise GLX FBConfigs with no depth bits on depth 30 X screens.
Added support in nvidia-settings to view configured PRIME displays. To enable PRIME displays, see «Offloading Graphics Display with RandR 1.4» in the README.
Added infrastructure which enables the NVIDIA EGL driver to load EGL external platform libraries that add client-side support for new window systems, beyond the existing libnvidia-egl-wayland.so.1. For more details, see:
Added support for the following Vulkan extensions:
VK_KHR_display VK_KHR_display_swapchain
Enabled OpenGL threaded optimizations by default in the driver. Refer to the «Threaded Optimizations» section in the «Specifying OpenGL Environment Variable Settings» chapter of the README for details. These optimizations will self-disable when they are degrading performance. As a result, performance should be unchanged for many applications, and increased for those that benefit from threaded optimizations and were not already forcing them enabled.
Fixed a bug that prevented PRIME Sync from working on notebooks with GeForce GTX 4xx and 5xx series GPUs.
Fixed a bug that caused system hangs when resuming from suspend with some GPUs.
Fixed a regression that could cause corruption when hot-plugging displays.
Fixed a regression that prevented systems with multiple DisplayPort monitors from resuming correctly from suspend.
Added support for the screen_info.ext_lfb_base field, on kernels that have it, in order to properly handle UEFI framebuffer consoles with physical addresses above 4GB.
Added support for X.Org xserver ABI 23 (xorg-server 1.19)
Fixed a bug that allowed nvidia-installer to attempt loading kernel modules that were built against non-running kernels.
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_64-378.13.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.

Vulkan with flipping enabled on Quadro cards can lead to graphic corruption. If you think you have run into it you can do either of the following as a workaround:
— Disable flipping in nvidia-settings (uncheck «Allow Flipping» in the «OpenGL Settings» panel) — Disable UBB (run ‘nvidia-xconfig —no-ubb’) — Use a composited desktop
