Version 580.65.06(Linux)/580.88(Windows)

Release notes for the Release 580 family of NVIDIA® Data Center GPU Drivers for Linux and Windows.

This edition of Release Notes describes the Release 580 family of NVIDIA® Data Center GPU Drivers for Linux and Windows. NVIDIA provides these notes to describe performance improvements, bug fixes and limitations in each documented version of the driver.

1. Version Highlights

This section provides highlights of the NVIDIA Data Center GPU R580 Driver (version 580.65.06 Linux and 580.88 Windows).

For changes related to the 580 release of the NVIDIA display driver, review the file "NVIDIA_Changelog" available in the .run installer packages.

Linux driver release date: 08/04/2025
Windows driver release date: 08/04/2025

1.1. Software Versions

For this release, the software versions are as follows:

CUDA Toolkit 13: 13.x

Note that starting with CUDA 11, individual components of the toolkit are versioned independently. For a full list of the individual versioned components (for example, nvcc, CUDA libraries, and so on), see the CUDA Toolkit Release Notes.
NVIDIA Data Center GPU Driver: 580.65.06 (Linux) / 580.88 (Windows)
Fabric Manager: 580.65.06 (Use nv-fabricmanager -v)
NVFlash: 5.791

For more information on getting started with the NVIDIA Fabric Manager on NVSwitch-based systems (for example, NVIDIA HGX A100), refer to the Fabric Manager User Guide.

1.2. Fixed Issues

When an IMEX daemon is waiting for RECOVERY quorum, the shutdown signal is allowed to interrupt the RECOVERY quorum loop to prevent unresponsiveness.
Requests from a shutting-down IMEX daemon no longer cause an error condition.
Optimized power control loops to improve performance under certain workload patterns when using power smoothing.
Updated GPU clock value reporting in nvidia-settings, NVML, and nvidia-smi to show clocks before thermal and idle slowdowns for better consistency with the equivalent functionality across Windows and Linux.

1.3. Known Issues

This version of the GPU driver will fail to initialize on systems with Hopper GPUs subrevision = 3 and VBIOS versions older than 96.00.68.00.xx. Please ensure the system is using a VBIOS version 96.00.68.00.xx or newer before upgrading to this version of the driver.

When upgrading from ClosedRM to OpenRM, nvidia-smi may fail.

Workaround

Run the following commands:

sudo rpm -e  nvidia-open-driver-G06-kmp-default --nodeps
sudo zypper in nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-default
sudo  zypper install -y nvidia-open-570

The default TCC mode in the NVIDIA driver does not support IOMMU-based isolation (necessary for Windows features such as DMA protection, kernel DMA guard, virtualization-based security, etc.). The impacted GPUs are NVIDIA L40, NVIDIA L40S, NVIDIA L20, NVIDIA L4, and NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition.
This GPU Driver release is compatible only with Data Center GPU Manager (DCGM) versions 4.3.x or newer. Earlier versions of DCGM are not compatible.

2. Virtualization

To make use of GPU passthrough with virtual machines running Windows and Linux, the hardware platform must support the following features:

A CPU with hardware-assisted instruction set virtualization: Intel VT-x or AMD-V.
Platform support for I/O DMA remapping.
On Intel platforms, the DMA remapper technology is called Intel VT-d.
On AMD platforms, it is called AMD IOMMU.

Support for these features varies by processor family, product, and system, and should be verified at the manufacturer's website.

The following hypervisors are supported for virtualization:

Hypervisor	Notes
Citrix XenServer	Version 6.0 and later
VMware vSphere (ESX / ESXi)	Version 5.1 and later.
Red Hat KVM	Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 with KVM
Microsoft Hyper-V	Windows Server 2019 Hyper-V Generation 2

Data Center products now support one display of up to 2560x1600 resolution.

The following GPUs are supported for device passthrough for virtualization:

GPU Family	Boards Supported
NVIDIA Blackwell	NVIDIA HGX GB200 NVL, NVIDIA HGX B200
NVIDIA Grace Hopper	NVIDIA GH200
NVIDIA Hopper	NVIDIA H100, NVIDIA H800
NVIDIA Ada Lovelace	NVIDIA L40, L4, L2, L20
NVIDIA Ampere GPU Architecture	NVIDIA A800, A100, A40, A30, A16, A10, A10G, A2, AX800
NVIDIA Turing	NVIDIA T4, NVIDIA T4G
NVIDIA Volta	NVIDIA V100
NVIDIA Pascal	Quadro: P2000, P4000, P5000, P6000, GP100 Tesla: P100, P40, P4
NVIDIA Maxwell	Quadro: K2200, M2000, M4000, M5000, M6000, M6000 24GB Tesla: M60, M40, M6, M4

3. Hardware and Software Support

Support for these features varies by processor family, product, and system, and should be verified at the manufacturer's website.

Coherent Driver-Based Memory Management (CDMM)

The R580 Driver introduces Coherent Driver-Based Memory Management (CDMM) for GB200 platforms. With CDMM, the driver manages GPU memory instead of the OS. CDMM avoids OS onlining of the GPU memory and the exposing of the GPU memory as a NUMA node to the OS. It is recommended that Kubernetes clusters enable CDMM to resolve potential memory over-reporting.

To set up the driver in CDMM mode, run the following commands and then reload the driver:

echo options nvidia NVreg_CoherentGPUMemoryMode=driver >
/etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-openrm.conf

Note:

If there is already a configuration file for the nvidia driver, please merge the options into a single options line.
To remove the configuration, undo its addition to the configuration file
To use GDRCopy with CDMM, please use version 2.5.1 or later of GDRCopy.
GPU Direct Storage is not supported with CDMM.
