[TheSoulz]

I would like to see benchmarks of this vs the 331.
also anyone got this working on ubuntu 14.04?
i tryed installing it manualy and it dosent work -.-
when it reaches lightdm to login it just goes into a blackscreen with a " - ".

Then the driver is not propper installed.
Btw, linux writes nice logfiles, so you should have a look into them.

ive opened a request to add it to the repos:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-331/+bug/1287753

i have no clue on how to manualy install it or even where to find the logfiles.
everytime i try to install a driver manualy and i get "distribution-provided pre-install script failed" i never get it to work :P
when that dosent show up it usualy works, so im probably missing something the script would do for me.

What i do:
go into tty2 and login
sudo stop lightdm
run the ".run" file
sudo nvidia-xconfig
sudo restart

Will it compile (without patching) and work on kernels 3.13 ?
for a number of releases of nvidia driver, they have not actually compiled against vanilla kernel

334.21 supports kernel 3.13, no patching needed.

it does, but theres a annoying bug right now with the UI flashing when moving the mouse.
it seems to be something realted to The GL_EXT_x11_sync_object extension.
i have reported it and hopefully they will fix it.

Meanwhile i wouldnt recommend installing it unless you dont mind the UI flashing or if you only use it for fullscreen gamming since it bypass compiz.

I do not see any flashing here.
