NVIDIA has announced the latest NVIDIA GeForce drivers - R310 - double the performance and dramatically reduce game loading times for those gaming on the Linux operating system. The result of almost a year of development by NVIDIA, Valve and other game developers, the new GeForce R310 drivers are designed to give GeForce customers the best possible Linux-based PC gaming experience - and showcase the enormous potential of the world’s biggest open-source operating system.
“With this release, NVIDIA has managed to increase the overall gaming performance under Linux,” said Doug Lombardi, Vice President of Marketing at Valve. “NVIDIA took an unquestioned leadership position developing R310 drivers with us and other studios to provide an absolutely unequalled solution for Linux gamers.”
The new R310 drivers are thoroughly tested with Steam for Linux, the extension of Valve’s phenomenally popular Steam gaming platform that officially opened to gamers. It supports the GeForce GTX 600 series GPUs, which have redefined gaming for desktop and notebook PCs by combining revolutionary performance and gaming technology features with an incredibly power-efficient design.
