NVIDIA 384.111 Released with New GPUs Support

A new update for the latest long-lived NVIDIA Linux driver 384 series was released a few days with some new GPUs support and a few fixes.

Changes in NVIDIA 384.111 include:

• Added support for GPUs: GeForce MX130, GeForce MX110, GeForce GTX 1050 Ti with Max-Q Design, Quadro P500.
• Fixed a regression that prevented displays connected via some types of passive adapters (e.g. DMS-59 to VGA or DVI) from working correctly. The regression was introduced with driver version 384.98.
• Fixed a bug that caused Quadro M2200 GPUs to enter the lowest available PowerMizer performance level when under load.
