For NVIDIA users, the latest 575 series driver has been made into Ubuntu repository. Meaning you need a third-party PPA any more.<\/p>\n

NVIDIA 575 so far is the latest feature branch Linux driver that improved performance for gaming and power management.<\/p>\n

The 575 series driver introduced NVIDIA Smooth Motion<\/b> support. It’s a feature so far only works RTX 50 series graphics card for better gaming performance.<\/p>\n

For\u00a0games without native DLSS support, the feature uses AI to infer additional frames between two rendered frames for overall smoothness of game-play.<\/p>\n

Besides that, the driver also added NVIDIA Dynamic Boost support<\/b> for Linux notebooks running on battery power, extended the __NV_DISABLE_EXPLICIT_SYNC<\/code> environment variable, so it works for EGL, GLX and Vulkan applications.<\/p>\n

For more features about this driver series, see the NVIDIA 575.57.08<\/a> release note.<\/p>\n

In the past few years, Ubuntu added all NVIDIA production branch drivers (e.g., 535, 550 and 570) support for current LTSs.<\/p>\n

For the latest feature branch driver, it’s usually only added for the Ubuntu edition released afterward. And, NVIDIA 575 has been made into Ubuntu 25.10 Dev release repository.<\/p>\n

This time the developer team somehow backported the driver<\/a> for Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 24.04, and Ubuntu 25.04<\/b>.<\/p>\n
