📚 Nvidia 378.13 Linux Graphics Driver Lets Users View Configured PRIME Displays

Nvidia released today a new short-lived graphics driver for GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris operating systems, adding support for multiple Quadro GPUs, as well as a bunch of new features and bug fixes. Among the newly supported GPUs by Nvidia 378.13 graphics driver, we can mention Nvidia Quadro P400, Nvidia Quadro P600, Nvidia Quadro P1000, Nvidia Quadro P2000, Nvidia Quadro P3000, Nvidia Quadro P4000, Nvidia Quadro GP100, Nvidia Quadro M1200, and Nvidia Quadro M2200. The new proprietary graphics driver also updates the nvidia-settings control panel to allow users to view configured PRIME displays, enables OpenGL threaded optimizations by default, and supports the VK_KHR_display and VK_KHR_display_swapchain Vulkan extensions.
