The Nvidia 370.23 Beta video driver implemented the ability for users to overclock or underclock their Nvidia GeForce GPUs (Graphics Processing Units). However, it appears that the new feature will only work with certain GPUs from the GeForce GTX 1000 series and later. Also new in the Nvidia 370.23 Beta graphics driver for GNU/Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris operating systems is the addition of support for 4K and 8K pixel shift displays by implementing a new MetaMode option called “PixelShiftMode,” as well as better support for Vulkan applications by fixing a bug that prevented them from presenting from multiple queues to the same X11 swapchain.
