New NVIDIA Linux Driver Due Out Soon

It's going on two months since NVIDIA last released a new driver for Linux, Solaris, and FreeBSD (v100.14.11). However, be on the lookout for a new NVIDIA driver for their alternative operating systems in the near future. A talkative penguin says the new driver could be out as soon as this week but with X.Org 7.3 coming out later this month, it's safe to assume the driver for sure will be released within the next four weeks. As far as the changes go you can expect to see a number of GeForce 8 fixes, including the performance problems that have recently plagued this flagship series. This may also mark the end of the NVIDIA 100.14.xx series. Find out more on the Phoronix Forums.
