Nvidia Linux Display Driver 346.59

Nvidia Linux Display Driver is a proprietary OpenGL video driver that tries to bring support for the graphics cards produced by Nvidia on Linux-based operating systems. This version supports only the 32-bit architecture. For 64-bit support, see this link. Even if it provides a settings panel, the Nvidia Linux Display Driver is not an application. It is a hardware driver, which provides some instructions that tell an operating system how to use a piece of hardware.

What's new in Nvidia Linux Display Driver 32-bit 346.59:
Added support for the following GPUs:

• Quadro K1200
• Quadro M6000
• GeForce 920M
• GeForce 930A
• GeForce 930M
• GeForce 940M
• GeForce GTX 950M
• GeForce GTX 960M
• GeForce GTX TITAN X
• Fixed a bug that caused corruption when switching display modes in some applications that use transform feedback.
• Fixed a bug that caused texture corruption on framebuffer depth attachments cleared using glClearTexImage().
• Fixed a bug that artificially limited the maximum pixel clock on displays in some SLI Mosaic configurations.
• Fixed a kernel memory leak that occurred when looping hardware-accelerated video decoding with VDPAU on Maxell-based GPUs.

Supports a wide range of Nvidia GPUs

In our tests, we’ve discovered that the Nvidia Linux Display Driver supports much more Nvidia graphics cards than the open source Nouveau driver. It plays well with most of the ION, ION LE, Quadro Plex, Quadro Sync, GRID, NVS, nForce Professional 3000, Quadro FX, Quadro Blade, as well as all the GeForce series.

All in all, if you have a PC or laptop equipped with an Nvidia GPU, and you have issues with the default Nouveau open source driver, you may want to install the Nvidia Linux Display Driver. It’s also the number one choice for gaming users.
