Windows driver version 383.18 and Linux driver version 381.26.20 provide new features for Vulkan developers to test their upcoming Vulkan applications.
September 28th, 2017 - Windows 383.18, Linux 381.26.20
Full-screen flipping for Linux
Improved performance of fullscreen Vulkan applications using X11 swapchains. This optimization will cause more events that trigger an out-of-date swapchain, such as when entering or leaving fullscreen mode. This is commonly encountered when using the alt-tab key combination, for example. Applications that do not properly respond to the VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DATE_KHR return code may not function properly when these events occur. See section 30.8 of the Vulkan specification.
Known issue with Quadro and non-composited desktops under some situations. Possible workarounds:
Disable flipping in nvidia-settings (uncheck "Allow Flipping" in the "OpenGL Settings" panel)
Disable UBB (run 'nvidia-xconfig --no-ubb')
Use a composited desktop
