NVIDIA 575 Linux Graphics Driver Released with Support for NVIDIA Smooth Motion
Highlights of the NVIDIA 575 graphics driver series include support for NVIDIA Smooth Motion, support for GLX front buffer rendering on Xwayland, support for the __NV_DISABLE_EXPLICIT_SYNC environment variable to also apply to GLX and Vulkan apps, and a new conceal_vrr_caps kernel module parameter to the nvidia-modeset kernel module to enable usage of features on some displays that are incompatible with VRR.
NVIDIA 575 series also extends the nvidia-powerd daemon to support Dynamic Boost when a laptop is running on battery power, updates the nvidia-modeset driver to trim trailing whitespace from the product name passed to the GPU’s audio device as part of the EDID-Like Data (ELD), and adds support for the DRM plane properties COLOR_ENCODING and COLOR_RANGE.

NVIDIA Releases Linux Display Driver v575
After debuting in beta back in mid-April, today, NVIDIA has rolled out its newest stable Linux display driver update, version 575.57. It is already available for download and is recommended for users seeking the latest improvements for their graphics hardware.
The headline fix addresses a curious memory leak that would steadily cause X11-based OpenGL and Vulkan applications to consume more RAM after each suspend-resume cycle.
At the same time, those running NVIDIA’s PRIME Display Offload in “Reverse PRIME” mode—where frames are rendered on the discrete GPU and then displayed by the integrated one—should find that inexplicable stalls or black screens with certain OpenGL compositors have finally been banished.

NVIDIA Released New Stable 575.57.08 Feature Branch Driver for Linux | UbuntuHandbook
NVIDIA announced the 575.57.08 driver yesterday as the latest new feature branch version for Linux users.
This is the first stable release in the 575 series, though it has only 2 bug-fixes compare to the last Beta which was released more than a month ago.
They are increased memory usage issue in X11 OpenGL/Vulkan applications after suspend and resume, and OpenGL app and compositor stall when using NVIDIA as a PRIME Display Offload sink.
Compare to the last NVIDIA 570 series, the new driver introduced NVIDIA Smooth Motion support for RTX 50 series graphics cards, which is also coming to RTX 40 series.
