With some RTX 30XX boards there occur startup problems which seem to have been dealt with with version 520.56.06 of the nvidia driver suite for FreeBSD. Some of our customers face such problems utilizing FreeBSD 13 and CURRENT in conjunction with RT[X]30XX boards. The version 520.56.06 seems to be a "BETA", but no bug-fixing version is released so far.
There is nothing beta about 520.56.06. It's just a regular release.
AFAICT, 515.x is production branch, 520.x is new Feature branch, and 525.x is beta branch ATM.
Maybe there is a fix in the latest production release: 515.86.01 ? As a side note, for me, only version 495.46 almost work with vulkan on wayland (well mostly XWayland, since vkcube-wayland cannot find both graphics and present queues : I am using it in an hybrid setup)
FYI: Latest Production Branch Version is now 525.60.11. On this version, at least libnvidia-egl-wayland.so is bumped to 1.1.10 with Linux libs. So at least x11/linux-nvidia-libs should be updated, too. As I have not enough time to dig into further, possibly some additional files are leaked both on x11/nvidia-driver and x11/linux-nvidia-libs.
Triage: severity reduced to the norm for an update to a port.
The latest version from the Production Branch is 525.85.05. https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/198556/
Note that some users had reported having "serious problems with the 520 and 525 series of the driver" e.g. in bug #269129, comment #0 and elsewhere, hence we're holding the update.
