New NVIDIA Drivers Released

[cloverm]

NVIDIA has released a new set of display drivers. Neverinter Nights fans should hold up on installing these driver as the game is unplayable after installing these drivers. Changes in this release include:

* Supports latest GeForce FX and Quadro FX GPUs
* Added support for UBB and FSAA Stereo.
* Improved GLXPixmap support.
* Added support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0.
* Added support for GLX_SGI_swap_control.
* Reduced CPU usage when OpenGL applications are syncing to vblank.

Thanks, I was wondering when someone would say something of it. I got it from a guy at LinuxQuestions

pbharris: tell me how the new driver works for you

did I mention these drivers were ~20-25% faster on glxgears for me?

I got a 70 fps increase with these drivers on glxgears.
