Nvidia has pushed out a new 349.12 beta driver with lots of little changes, but no performance updates this time around.
Along side the usual bug fixes, there is improved support for G-SYNC monitors being used along side monitors that don't support it, which I imagine is quite important for people with lots of screens.
They also added this for G-SYNC monitors:
QuoteAdded a checkbox to nvidia-settings to enable a visual indicator that shows when G-SYNC is being used. This is helpful for displays that don't indicate themselves whether they are operating in G-SYNC mode or normal mode.
I have to hand it to Nvidia, they are adding lots of little useful things.
See their full notes here.

Come on Nvidia, add Nvidia 3d Vision support to your Linux drivers please. I got this sweet little set of glasses collecting dust here. :(

More features on the application 3d department would be nice, like forcing vsync on/off. Probably can be done via cli but definitely should be present in the driver settings manager just like in windows.
But I would give away every setting just to get a performance boost... oh Vulkan, come fast and stay strong.

At simple seek in wine, performance seems very similar with 346.47, however in assasins creed brotherhood single player appears gains around 5fps depending scene

Maybe more later add other tests

Are you using CSMT in that Wine? It seems to run so well for a GT 630 and Intel G3220. I've seen some other videos from you, great work :-)

Ah, but surely Windows users are crying out for this feature too. After all, feature parity is something that the nvidia devs are very determined to maintain...

LOL. I know they wished they never used that sentence. I throw it around their Linux forum all the time.
Our control panel is exactly the sa.. err.. I mean at parity to the windows control panel. Oh wait.. No its not. We don't have a sane way to do per app/game settings.. I swear half of the settings in there do absolutely nothing except fill a checkbox. Hell you can't even setup SLI in there.
We have surround sli mode.. Oh yea.. No we don't because nvidia locks that to quadro cards in Linux because $$..
When you do enable SLI in Linux you can only use a single monitor.. Not like it matters.. Most of the time enabling SLI actually causes worse perf. (This is supposedly an opengl problem??)
I'm sure the list goes on... Those are the few that piss me off the most though.

No i using only wine vanilla, in my case still waiting CSMT too but when stay in mainline if all continues like as now as many chances to see in this year (CSMT are proposed for wine 1.8 release criteria)
