Yes. Release Highlights for 580.142 comments about it.
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/265444/
If you need legacy 580 series (currently at 580.142) for old GPUs on #FreeBSD you can use:
x11/nvidia-kmod-580
x11/nvidia-driver-580
And if you prefer DRM/KMS interface, one of
graphics/nvidia-drm-{510|515|61|66|latest}-kmod-580
that matches your base FreeBSD version is needed additionally.
If you need #NVIDIA #Linux libraries, you additionally need:
x11/linux-nvidia-libs-580
Note that, as "-devel" variants of NVIDIA #GPU drivers on FreeBSD #ports tracks whichever newer one of New Feature Branch (NFB) or Production Branch (PB), "-devel" variants are currently at 595.58.03, too. Both 580.142 and 595.58.03 are released this month (Mar., 2026).
Beta drivers are just triggers for us to start investigating for upcoming NFB or PB, thus, FreeBSD ports should never been bumped for them (although supports for testing could appear earlier with upgrades for PB, NFB or legacy drivers).
And one of the related thread in forums.freebsd.org here.

Latest Production Branch of #NVIDIA #GPU #driver package 595.58.03 is landed on main (aka latest) branch of #FreeBSD ports tree.
https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=b35026e786a2c761d4b2b7853a989ab23dda5e9b
No plan for merging into quarterly branch (now 2026Q1), but next quarterly 2026Q2 would be created early April.
Note that this version drops support for a bunch of old (pre-Turing generation of architectures) GPUs.
Anyone using affected GPUs need switching to newly created -580 variant of legacy branch.
You can find your GPU is still supported or not here.

580 series are NOT yet found on NVIDIA Unix Driver Archive page as Legacy version,
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/
but I think one would appear later, as 580.xx is listed as driver for legacy GPUs.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says China is 'formidable' in robotics, citing the country's leading position in microelectronics, motors, rare earth and magnets essential to robotics. Despite the US pioneering the industry, its robotics sector now relies deeply on China's supply chain, Huang said at Nvidia's GTC event. The comment comes as Nvidia bets on physical AI and seeks to return to the Chinese market. https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3347427/nvidias-huang-calls-china-formidable-robotics-company-bets-physical-ai #China #Tech #AI #NVIDIA

We’re entering the agentic AI era — and infrastructure is evolving fast.
NVIDIA’s new Vera Rubin platform brings together specialized chips (Vera CPUs, Rubin GPUs, Groq LPUs, and BlueField-4 DPUs) into coordinated, rack-scale systems designed for real-time AI.
Instead of relying on a single processor type, this architecture splits AI workloads across purpose-built components — enabling faster inference, lower latency, and more efficient “AI factories” at scale.
The big shift: AI isn’t just about training models anymore — it’s about orchestrating entire systems to power intelligent, autonomous agents in real time.

Although the Mac mini with the Apple M4 chip does have a pretty respectable graphics performance given its small size, it's still nowhere near my boring, old gaming PC.
I just ran the "Shadow of the Tomb Raider" benchmark on the M4 and managed to get around 25-35fps in a 1440p resolution. Just for comparison, I then booted up my PC and ... well... it managed over 200fps. On 2160p 4K with highest settings. Holy cow! Probably not a fair fight.😅

Investigating for future NFB or PB upgrades, FreeBSD native driver ports should work by overriding version as usual.
But Linux counterparts (installed by overriding version of x11/linux-nvidia-libs{-devel}) need some fixes.
Beware! This version does NOT work on pre-Turing generations of GPUs, just as 590 series.

Inference is becoming the primary cost center of AI, and NVIDIA’s Feynman roadmap suggests a shift from training-centric GPUs toward latency-optimized, inference-scale systems.
As real-time agents, copilots, and edge deployments grow, inference sovereignty—where compute is located, how fast it responds, and who controls the hardware—will define the next phase of AI infrastructure.
With NVIDIA GTC 2026 approaching, the key question is whether NVIDIA will formally introduce a new class of inference-focused silicon and fabric to complement its training platforms.

Die Bilanz nach acht Monaten automatischen Updates per DNF in Fedora:
Ein immer aktueller PC und Notebook.
Beide haben Nvidia GPUs und selbst diese Tatsache hat zu keinen Ausfällen geführt.
Meinem Bruder habe ich letzten Oktober ebenfalls Fedora 42 und automatische Updates für sein Notebook mit Nvidia-GPU konfiguriert und das läuft auch geräuschlos.
Alles in allem schon praktisch. Wäre nur schön das über die Gnome oder KDE Oberfläche aktivieren zu können.
Und mein innerer Monk vermisst es irgendwie DNF5 bei der Arbeit zuzuschauen.

Here's an update to my #microblog of my latest Linux Mint install.
Today I discovered that I did not have the correct NVidia GPU drivers setup to run a local Stable Diffusion model. (Don't ask me about SD, I just have a new-to-me old GPU begging for interesting code to try.)
I resolved my driver issue with the following steps:
+ I pressed the Windows key on my keyboard.
+ I typed in the word 'drivers' and the clicked on the one suggested menu item that matched my search.
+ A setting panel appeared and informed me that I had four driver options for my NVidia graphics card.
+ Of the four options, one had the word "recommended" beside it. It was the selected one.
+ So I clicked on the "recommended" one.
+ I closed the window.
+ A new window informed me that I would need to reboot to apply the the change.
+ I rebooted, and found that Stable Diffusion can now see my GPU.
Gosh! Whatever shall become of poor Nvidia once the AI bubble of bullshit bursts? How will they ever survive??
Got this in email.
"The second-gen transformer model for DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution uses 5x more compute and an expanded training data set for greater context awareness of every scene and more intelligent use of pixel sampling and motion vectors."
Yep. We're gonna need more Nvidia cards to drive our games with "greater context awareness of every scene," which is frightening to future me.
I'd link to the article, but it leads with an AI-generated summary, which means it's mostly that bullshit I referenced above, but you get the picture, lol.
Also useful for movie production.
@clf
RTX 5070 is supported by 580 series and above (in #FreeBSD ports, x11/nvidia-kmod{-devel}, x11/nvidia-driver{-devel} and optionally graphics/nvidia-drm-{510|515|61|66|latest}-kmod depending on the version of your base FreeBSD version).
But Blackwell generation (possibly later generation, too) of architecture is known to have issues that (AFAIK) #nvidia is still working on fixing. At least, you'll additionally need
hw.nvidia.registry.EnableGpuFirmware=1
in your /boot/loader.conf to enable GSP.
If you need to enable iGPU, too, you'll need graphics/nvidia-drm-{510|515|61|66|latest}-kmod, too.
If you have any plans to upgrade your GPU to something in the Nvidia 5000 series, then do this sooner rather than later.
Supplies will apparently be constrained into late 2026 so prices will rise by at least 30% for base components. Probably much higher for retail pricing 😕
Nvidia has allegedly overbooked AI production so other product SKUs will be constrained/delayed or cancelled.

Bit of a GPU performance jump on the gaming PC with this GTX 1080Ti to RTX 5080 upgrade.

So, now they know how real creators feel after having been ripped off by "AI"…

Very nice. Impressive results, open weights, ability to run locally (given hardware) with retained ability to sell and thus maintain.

I'd predict that we will indeed see a slow shift from mainframe (frontier models on API) to PC/data center (on-machine/on-prem) again together with the continuous evolution of the respective hardware.
I'm especially also curios too see
And of course I still want my solar powered Claude Code equivalent under my desk. Too young to fully experience the SPARC and SGI Octane, o2 etc era, second time's the charm...🤣
NVIDIA announce a native Linux app for GeForce NOW https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/01/nvidia-announce-a-native-linux-app-for-geforce-now/
@rraggl eben!
#WindowsXP kann (ohne modifizierte Installationsmedien) weder #SCSI noch #SATA geschweige denn #SAS oder #NVMe-Medien nativ booten und erkennen und verlangt zwingend die #Treiber auf 3,5" #Diskette (!!!)
Das Problem besteht bis einschließlich #Windows7 fort, samt Unfähigkeit ohne Spezialsoftware von #USB-Speichersticks & -Festplatten wie SSDs zu installieren.
#Windows8 & #Windows 8.1 hat immerhin #SATA-Triber bekommen und
Erst ab #Windows10 gab's #NVMe-Support ohne Frickelei.
Von der Fummelei keinen #MicroShit-Accoint für #Windows11 zu brauchen und zu verhindern dass jenes #Govware-OS konstant alle Dateien in #OneDrive hochlädt noch garnicht angefangen.
Dass fundamentale #Treiber bis heute nicht in #Windows integriert sind und wie in den 1990ern #Treiber händlisch reingeprügelt werden müssen ist auch ein Unding dass es so glücklicherweise nie unter #Linux gab.
Meine Beispiele bei Windows sind noch nichtmals weirde Edge-Cases sondern fundamentale Funktionen…
@manjarolinux hat ein stabiles Update für #Manjaro #Linux herausgegeben.
https://masto.ai/@manjarolinux/115837659140288942
Dies enthält den NVIDIA-Treiber 590, welcher ältere #Nvidia-Grafikkarten mit Pascal-GPUs (GTX 10xx) nicht mehr unterstützt.
Sollte eine solche Grafikkarte vorhanden sein, so schaut auf alle Fälle vor dem Update in die Release-Ankündigung und prüft, ob hier etwas zu tun ist.
Yeah, we all want to go #LazerEyes on those "#AI" grifters, Steve...
