The new NVIDIA 580.105 Linux driver fixes HDMI FRL issues, Rage 2 and Metro Exodus crashes, and adds a CUDA performance control variable.

Among the notable improvements, the driver introduces a new environment variable, CUDA_DISABLE_PERF_BOOST, allowing users to disable CUDA’s default behavior of automatically boosting GPU clock speeds to higher power states during compute workloads.

    For virtualization users, the driver addresses a soft lockup issue involving the vfio-pci module, which could occur after powering off a virtual machine with a passed-through NVIDIA GPU. This fix improves reliability for users running GPU passthrough in environments such as KVM or QEMU.

      The good news is Nvidia consumer grade GPUs don’t even support vGPU and can’t be passed though if Host OS is using it.

          You can generally pass through modern Nvidia GPUs as the entire device, provided that you let go of it in the host. It not supporting vGPUs just means you can’t virtualize and split up the GPU workload across multiple VMs, which I believe is also the case for consumer AMD GPUs as well.
