Support for the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Ti was added only to the 64-bit and 32-bit Linux and FreeBSD drivers, as the Solaris build of the Nvidia 387.22 graphics driver doesn’t offer support for this cheaper video card designed for gamers. Nvidia 387.22 also comes with the “NVreg_EnableBacklightHandler” nvidia.ko kernel module parameter to allow users to enable experimental handling of laptop backlight brightness, and G-SYNC as default for all supported Vulkan swapchains for Nvidia Maxwell and later graphics cards.
