That's what I call driver support. There aren't that much games for Linux, yet they support their newest 1300 USD graphics card on Linux right from the beginning.

Well, in that case Intel is even better because they are making the driver even before there is hardware for it (Haswell)

Another driver which doesn't work with Steam, 32-bit support broken

Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit, i7-3930K, 64 GB RAM, GTX 680 4GB.

I really want to get off the 304 branch, it has two annoying bugs: occasional "red screens" and compiz redraw issues (a single window becomes white until I resize it to force redraw).

I don't get it.

Yeah. I'm using 313.18 since forever on Arch with 3.8.2 Kernel now without issues.

Well Intel might support hardware before it is released but NVIDIA drivers simply work.
I have heard that even with HD4000 glitches are not uncommon.

Let's just agree that AMD drivers suck.

Just like AMD does with their proprietary drivers, and Intel does with their OSS ones.

NVidia drivers are currently the best available on linux, but it's not because they support their hardware faster than their competition.

Just like AMD does with their proprietary drivers,

AMD has a bit of a reputation to be sluggish on releasing blobs when a new family comes out.

BTW, all the 313 series actually supported Titan. 313.26 were just the first ones where they listed as such.
