A mere seventeen days after the launch of NVIDIA’s 1.0-8174
display drivers that finally delivered Scalable Link Interface support
to Linux, the green guys have delivered yet another driver for the
penguin users on the heels of the holidays. Coincidently, the driver
release comes on the same day as the Xorg X11R6.9 and X11R7.0 launch
after a decade of no major releases. As the 1.0-8178 version implies,
there is not much in the way of significant advances but there is enough
to call for a new performance article, which we will be sharing with you
today.
Check out the full look at these new drivers over at Phoronix.
