NVIDIA 304.51 Linux Graphics Driver Released

Posted by Michael Larabel on September 25, 2012

NVIDIA has released an updated proprietary Linux graphics driver.

Before getting too excited though if you're a NVIDIA Linux customer, this latest 304 series driver release is mostly about bug-fixing.

There's various fixes from X Server crashes to RandR items, but nothing too particularly exciting. Perhaps the only thing really pointing out is that there's now FXAA support with unified back-buffers.

This latest Linux binary blob can be downloaded from NVIDIA.com.
