This NVIDIA 620.70.06 Linux driver release isn't too feature heavy but comes with some bug fixes, improved performance of explicit sync on Wayland, and some other refinements.

Also on the Wayland side is fixing corruption and flickering screen with Vulkan apps on Wayland when __VK_ENABLE_DEVICE_GROUPS is enabled for multi-GPU systems. Another change with Wayland impact is the OpenGL visual indicator activated via __GL_SHOW_GRAPHICS_OSD Now working for all Vulkan back-ends, including Wayland and direct-to-display. This NVIDIA R610 driver for Linux also fixes a regression since R595 affecting Assassin's Creed Shadows, intermittent crashes in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth with when using VKD3D-Proton descriptor heaps, and a few other bug fixes.
