NVIDIA have released the 384.47 beta driver and it includes support for more GPUs and it has a fair amount of bug fixes. One notable bug fix is that it fixes an issue with newer Feral games.
Since newer Feral games check for both OpenGL and Vulkan at start-up, some of you might have experienced a crash with previous drivers. This should fix it. I haven't personally seen the issue, but I know some of you have. If so, try this driver and let us know how it goes.
It adds support for these GPUs:

That was a kernel bug that Ubuntu introduced by incorporating patches from an unreleased kernel into theirs. Apparently Mint happily copied it. After it being in there for three months, it was finally fixed recently.

Wonder if this helps DoW 3 run without turning my PC into an oven.
Never happened on OpenGL , only on Vulkan.

At least 381.22 already fixed vulkan for me on a zotac sn970. Took a while before vulkan really worked.

Was it fixed in Ubuntu as well? Or just Mint?

It was fixed in Ubuntu (going by two weeks without a crash). Don't know about Mint.

Possible. It had something to do with the allocation of large memory pages. If those were effectively allocated by the nvidia driver, then it could be that. It may have been other combinations of hardware though.
