    Phoronix: NVIDIA's Releasing An Overclocking Linux Driver Tomorrow

    At long last NVIDIA is expected to release a new binary Linux driver tomorrow that will support GPU overclocking for the GeForce 400 series hardware and newer (Fermi, Kepler, and Maxwell, inclusive). This first NVIDIA 337 series Linux driver release will also bring other new features...

      Will it support 3.14 kernel??
      After upgrading to the last kernel on my opensuse, I was unable to compile the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-334.21 driver

        I wonder if this is going to be implemented to all the platforms under the "Unix drivers" rubric. Should be known by tomorrow.

          this driver sounds promising even to windows...
          "Nvidia revealed in a talk at GTC that the DX11 API update that was showcased on the previous GTC session will arrive in the form of a Geforce Driver, more specifically the Geforce 337.xx Driver. It will be released sometime in April and will result in very significant performance gains inside the DX11 API itself. The new driver takes a well known approach to solve CPU overhead without moving to a new API (DX12 for example). The approach is called ‘Tiled Resources’ and a weak variant of the same is also used in Mantle API. This will also grant Developers more control at the Assembly level."

            Works fine on 3.14 on Arch.

                  Hopefully we can now use AA together with FXAA, for Flightgear etc. like on Windows.

                    What's there to play? Metro Last Light?

                    NVIDIA should help nouveau more, not implement features required by 1% of Linux users (i.e. 0.01% computers users in general).
