More about this driver

What's New:
  • Added support for the following GPUs:
    • GeForce GTX 680MX
    • Tesla K20Xm
  • Added support in NV-CONTROL and in nvidia-settings for changing the Double Precision performance boost mode on supported GPUs.
  • Fixed a bug in nvidia-settings that allowed unavailable features to be selected in some drop-down menus.
  • Fixed several OpenGL driver bugs related to stencil-only framebuffer objects.
  • Updated the NVIDIA X driver to reprobe displays when VT-switching to X, to allow reporting of hotplug events when displays are connected or disconnected while VT-switched away from X.
  • Added unofficial GLX protocol support (i.e for GLX indirect rendering) for the following extension and core commands.
    • GL_ARB_vertex_array_object
    • OpenGL 3.0 commands ClearBufferfi, ClearBufferfv, ClearBufferiv,
    • ClearBufferuiv and GetStringi.
  • Fixed a bug that caused the cursor shadow to be clipped to 32x32 pixels, even on Kepler GPUs that support a 256x256 cursor image.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented some cursor image updates from taking effect on displays with rotation or other transformations applied.
  • Fixed cursor alpha blending artifacts on displays with rotation or other transformations applied.
  • Added support for the GLX_EXT_buffer_age extension.
  • Improved the performance of glDrawPixels() by up to 450% when the pixel data is of type GL_BYTE.
  • Fixed a bug when enabling framelock between displays connected to the same GPU as other displays with different refresh rates, which caused the latter to be incorrectly assigned to the framelock group.
  • Updated the reporting of HDMI 3D framerates and pixel clocks to be more consistent with how they are reported by HDMI 3D displays.
  • Fixed a bug that sometimes prevented rotation controls in the nvidia-settings control panel from working after changing resolutions.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause applications using GL_NV_vdpau_interop to crash during modeswitches.
  • Fixed a regression that could cause OpenGL applications to crash while compiling shaders.
  • Added a kernel module parameter, "NVreg_EnablePCIeGen3", which can be used to enable PCIe gen 3 when possible. Note that on many systems where the NVIDIA driver does not allow PCIe gen 3 by default, stability problems can be expected when this option is enabled: users should do so at their own risk.
  • Fixed a VDPAU bug that could cause the X server to hang when decoding some corrupted video streams.
  • Renamed VGX products to GRID products in the "Supported NVIDIA GPU Products" list.
  • Added support for X.org xserver ABI 14 (xorg-server 1.14).
  • Fixed a bug in nvidia-settings that could cause the wrong resolution to be set in basic mode for setups based on one display per X screen.
  • Fixed libnvidia-encode.so library dependency by linking it with libnvcuvid.so.1 instead of libnvcuvid.so while creating it.
  • Improved performance of OpenGL framebuffer object binds with Xinerama enabled by 2000-3000% when the application's windows do not span screen boundaries.
  • Fix performance issues when using some versions of HyperMesh with Quadro GPUs.
