NVIDIA has release the 378.13 stable driver which directly follows on from their work on the 378.09 beta driver.

A pretty interesting NVIDIA beta driver has landed and it officially enables their OpenGL threaded optimizations by default.

Samuel Pitoiset (Valve developer) just put some fresh work into Mesa-git that enables OpenGL 4.3 with nouveau (NVIDIA) for Maxwell and above.

My original guide on how to help fix screen-tearing on Linux with an NVIDIA GPU is a bit dated, so here’s an even easier way.

NVIDIA has put out what they call 'VkHLF', a high level abstraction library on top of Vulkan. Looks like it's under a BSD-style license too.

Nvidia have pushed out three new driver updates today. One for their latest stable branch and two for older hardware.

It seems NVIDIA are preparing a new driver update that will enable the use of Vulkan without needing X11.

It seems Wargame: European Escalation was broken for nearly two years for Nvidia GPU users on Linux. The recent Nvidia 370.28 driver seems to have fixed it.

Nvidia has released the beta driver 370.23, the good news for multi-GPU users is that it features initial support for PRIME Synchronization.

Here's a way to fix missing bodies in the Linux port of Shadow of Mordor with Nvidia drivers. This is a temp fix until a patch is released.

VR Funhouse is currently a Windows only advanced VR game, but the interesting thing is that Nvidia claim they will open source it.

Not exactly too different from previous Nvidia 364.x drivers, but this now makes the Nvidia 364.19 driver throw off the beta label and is stable enough in their eyes.

Nvidia are really pushing hard on their Vulkan driver, and it's great to see them push out updates so quickly. We now have the 364.16 Vulkan driver ready for download.

Just a heads up, you might want to avoid Nvidia driver 364.12 is you play Shadow of Mordor (or want to play it soon). Nvidia have stated it's an issue Feral Interactive need to fix.

Well Nvidia dropped a bit of a big one today didn't they! Nvidia driver version 364.12 is now out and brings in official Vulkan support, Mir support and Wayland support.

Two long and low quality videos from GDC are now up with Vulkan as the subject, all very interesting with Oxide Games (Ashes of the Singularity) and Valve speaking. I've done some highlights for you.

Looks like Nvidia don't want to be outclassed by AMD and have released GameWorks SDK 3.1 with the intetion of releasing parts of it onto github. They have already released FaceWorks and some OpenGL samples, with more to come.

Nvidia are keeping up their great support of Vulkan with yet another new build of their Vulkan driver which supports Linux.

Heads up Vulkan testers, Nvidia has updated their beta Vulkan driver for Linux. It should work better with newer kernels too.

SteamOS Brewmaster update 2.63 has been pushed to brewmaster_beta, if you are opted into the beta on SteamOS you will get an updated Nvidia driver featuring Vulkan support.
