NVIDIA has a new driver for Linux

NVIDIA

Company NVIDIA has released a new driver or driver for Linux that includes interesting improvements over the previous version, something that fans of the American brand of GPUs will appreciate. This new driver, among other things, stands out for having support for monitors compatible with G-SYNC technology. That is, with support for gaming monitors that thanks to it can show objects immediately with more clarity.

In this Beta controller And from what we have been able to know it seems quite interesting, especially if you take into account that flourishing world of gaming in Linux, adding the support for this technology that will surely appeal to the most Linux gamers. Therefore, with this new driver, all users with a FreeSync monitor should be able to activate G-SYNC without problems.

But as far as we have learned, this controller has yet to be polished by the developers, as it has some limitations beyond being a Beta. For example, G-SYNC will only work with a monitor and if the game is being displayed in full screen. This has angered some gamers, who say it is a shame as it is quite useless when many gamers are using more than one monitor ...

However, step by step it improves and they have also moved on other fronts, such as improvements in the support for Vulkan and OpenGL, resolution of certain problems that prevented the selection of PRIME screens in the NVIDIA configuration center, bugs with Vulkan that produced a malfunction, has been added support for Video Codec SDK 9.0, and support for Turing NVENC / NVDEC, etc.

You already know they exist open and proprietary controllers for graphics cards, if you want to know more about the owners you can click on this link from the official NVIDIA website.
