NVIDIA turned to Linux

Many people remember how Linus Torvalds showed an indecent gesture against NVIDIA after it turned out that the company carelessly relates to the support of its video cards in Linux.

Be that as it may, in today's official press release from NVIDIA it suddenly turned out that the new drivers for the GeForce R310 video card " double the performance and significantly reduce the time to load games on computers running the Linux operating system ."

Doug Lombardi, vice president of marketing for Valve:

“The new version of NVIDIA drivers was able to increase the overall gaming performance in Linux. NVIDIA has undoubtedly taken the lead by developing the R310 drivers with us and other studios to provide the best Linux solution for gamers. ”

It also turned out that NVIDIA had been working with Valve for a whole year (which lately constantly expresses a critical attitude to Windows 8 as a gaming platform) and with other developers to " ... provide the GeForce owners with the best gaming experience on a PC running Linux, demonstrating the enormous potential of in the world of the open source operating system .
