Again, We Have Another New NVIDIA Driver

Written by Michael Larabel in NVIDIA on 24 April 2009 at 01:54 AM EDT. 37 Comments

Last month there were five Linux driver releases from NVIDIA and we have already seen quite a few this month, but just days after releasing the 180.51 Linux driver, they have pushed out another new release. This time around NVIDIA released a new beta in the 185 series, which is called 185.18.04.

This new NVIDIA Linux driver is known to work around a bug on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, memory management performance problems in a Composited environment, compatibility with the Linux 2.6.30 kernel, and improved DisplayPort support when using suspend-and-resume.

The release announcement and x86/x86_64 Linux driver download links for this very latest NVIDIA build can be found at NvNews.net.
