Nvidia Linux Display Driver 64-bit is a proprietary, yet freely distributed OpenGL video driver that aims to offer support for Nvidia graphics cards on any Linux kernel-based operating system. This version has been designed to be installed only computers supporting the 64-bit architecture. For 32-bit support, see this link. It is a native Linux driver that provides users with only a command-line installer, as well as a settings panel. It’s also the number one choice for gaming users.

What's New in This Release:

• Added support for X.Org xserver ABI 19 (xorg-server 1.17).
• Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels.
• Fixed a bug that rendered very bright garbage data onto some textures in UnrealEngine 4 applications. This issue is known as the "disco bug" by the UnrealEngine 4 Linux community.
• Added option UseSysmemPixmapAccel to control the use of GPU acceleration for X drawing operations on pixmaps allocated in system memory.
• Fixed a regression that prevented the NVIDIA X driver from recognizing Base Mosaic layouts generated by the nvidia-settings control panel.
• Fixed a bug that could cause VT-switching to fail following a suspend, resume, and driver reload sequence.
• Fixed a bug that caused incorrect colors to be displayed on X screens running at depth 8 on some GPUs.
• Fixed a bug that prevented GPUs from being correctly recognized in MetaMode strings when identified by UUID.
• Implemented support for disabling indirect GLX context creation using the -iglx option available on X.Org server release 1.16 and newer.  Note that future X.Org server releases may make the -iglx option the default. To re-enable support for indirect GLX on such servers, use the +iglx option.
• Added the "AllowIndirectGLXProtocol" X config option.  This option can be used to disallow use of GLX protocol.  See "Appendix B. X Config Options" in the README for more details.
• Fixed a crash with UnrealEngine 4 when the application was started with the -opengl4 commandline switch.
• Fixed an OpenGL issue that could cause glReadPixels() operations to be improperly clipped when resizing composited application windows, potentially leading to momentary X freezes.
• Fixed a bug that could prevent the GLSL compiler from correctly evaluating some expressions when compiling shaders.
• Fixed a bug that could cause nvidia-installer to crash while attempting to run nvidia-xconfig on systems where that utility is missing.
• Fixed a bug that could prevent 32-bit GPU-based applications from running correctly on 64-bit systems when using GPUs with very large memory-mapped I/O regions.
• Fixed a bug that could cause the CUDA debugger to fail after exiting X on systems with persistence mode enabled.
• Fixed a bug that could cause silent and intermittent failures when a CUDA application writes to a peer device's memory with GPUDirect.
• Updated nvidia-installer to avoid writing to non-zero offsets of sysctl files in /proc/sys/kernel.

What Nvidia graphics cards are supported by this driver?

Officially, the Nvidia Linux Display Driver supports a wide range of Nvidia graphics cards, much more than the open source Nouveau driver supports. 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 are supported at this time.

Is my Linux distribution supported?

During our tests, here at the Softpedia Testing Labs, we’ve successfully installed the Nvidia Linux Display Driver on numerous distributions of Linux, including the popular Ubuntu. It plays well with Arch Linux, Debian GNU/Linux, Linux Mint, openSUSE, Fedora, and many other well-known Linux kernel-based OSes.

How do I install the Nvidia graphics driver?

In order to install the Nvidia Linux Display Driver on your Linux box, you will have to first download the binary package using the “Download” button above, save the run file on your Home directory, open a TTY and execute the “sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-xxx.xx.run” command (without quotes), as root (with sudo), where xxx.xx is the version number.

Keep in mind though, that you will have to install the Linux kernel header packages first! During the installation, you will be asked if you want to manually edit the X configuration file or let the installer do all the hard work. Alternatively, it is possible to automatically configure it by running the nvidia-xconfig command via a Linux terminal emulator after the installation. Follow this page for installation on Linux System 32 bit.
