# Testing
Nvidia-470-129.06

This document provides a guideline for testing and verifying NVIDIA driver updates. Copy this checklist and mark items as they are verified to work.

These tests _must_ be performed on every OS version that the driver will be released on. Typically, that will be the Pop!\_OS regular release, the Pop!\_OS LTS, and the Ubuntu LTS.

## Installation

Add the staging branch containing the updated driver with the [apt script](https://github.com/pop-os/pop/blob/master/scripts/apt) in the pop-os/pop repo.

- [x] `sudo apt upgrade` updates the driver without conflicts (Ubuntu may require `full-upgrade`).

## Desktop graphics
(thelio-mira-b1 nvidia-2080 rtx)

Several graphics cards will have to be tested, preferably in several desktops. Test at least one current generation NVIDIA card, as well as one previous generation NVIDIA card.

- [x] HDMI-out (including sound output) works at expected resolution and refresh rate
- [x] DisplayPort-out (including sound output) works at expected resolution and refresh rate
- [x] Daisy-chained DisplayPort monitors (DP alt mode) work at expected resolution and refresh rate
- [x] Hot plugging/unplugging displays works as expected
- [x] Multiple displays at once work as expected
- [x] GSync over DisplayPort is working without flickering or flashing
- [x] Multiple NVIDIA GPUs in a desktop are correctly reported by `nvidia-smi`

## Laptop graphics (switchable graphics)
kudu6 nvidia-3060

Switchable graphics laptops can render with either the CPU-integrated GPU or the dedicated NVIDIA GPU. Before installing the driver update, make sure the machine is in Hybrid graphics mode.

- [x] After update and reboot, the machine remained in Hybrid graphics mode.

### Hybrid mode tests

- [x] Laptop suspends and resumes
- [x] `nvidia-smi` correctly reports the GPU's status
- [x] DisplayPort (mDP and DP over USB-C) outputs (including sound) work as expected
- [x] HDMI-out (including sound) works as expected
- [x] External display becomes primary display when laptop lid is closed

### NVIDIA mode tests

- [x] Laptop suspends and resumes
- [x] `nvidia-smi` correctly reports the GPU's status
- [x] DisplayPort (mDP and DP over USB-C) outputs (including sound) work as expected
- [x] HDMI-out (including sound) works as expected
- [x] External display becomes primary display when laptop lid is closed

### Compute mode tests

- [x] `nvidia-smi` correctly reports the GPU's status
- [x] Plugging in a display correctly prompts to switch to Hybrid mode

### Integrated mode test

- [x] Plugging in a display correctly prompts to switch to Hybrid mode

## Software tests

These can be done on any machine with an NVIDIA GPU

- [x] NVIDIA X Server Settings application launches properly
- [x] A Unigine benchmark performs as expected
- [x] Steam can be installed and launched
- [x] A native Linux game can be launched from Steam
- [x] A Proton game can be launched from Steam

#Notes
Also tested thelio-r1-6 nvidia 710 however system would not resume from suspend. Journalctl (attached) showed a kernel oops from the driver.
