# NousResearch/hermes-agent · NVIDIA EGL SwiftShader gate upper-bound fix

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These items concern a version check that forces SwiftShader on NVIDIA drivers at or above version 580, which lacks an upper bound and would affect all newer drivers indefinitely. The group addresses adding an upper bound to restrict the fallback to only the affected driver series.

## TL;DR

- 3 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 1 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 1 merged PR(s), 1 PR(s) closed without merging.
- A fix was merged to main in PR #123213. Verify it addresses your case.
- **Recommended:** read PR #123213 (and any competing PRs below) before filing. Confirm the merged change covers your symptom.

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `unresolved`. This is distinct from the fix status above. Weigh it yourself.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.
- Pairwise link density `0.67`: the share of member pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. `1.00` means every pair is linked.
