So Long nvidia-patch
Sunday 3rd March, 2024 17:37 Comments: 0
A couple of years ago I made use of nvidia-patch to remove the fairly artificial limitation Nvidia forced upon consumer graphics cards. But last month I gave up on the patched driver. NVIDIA increased the number of concurrent streams you can encode from 3 to 5 last year, and with their latest driver they've increased it to a fair more reasonable value of 8. The latest Ubuntu meta package should be easier to install and maintain automatically. But it looks like nvidia-driver-550 might only be in the official PPA for now. I haven't done this yet, and will probably wait for it to appear normally, but as a partial reminder to myself it looks like you can add support via the official PPA using: 
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-550
