Nvidia develops and publishes GeForce drivers for Windows 10 x86/x86-64 and later, Linux x86/x86-64/ARMv7-A, OS X 10.5 and later, Solaris x86/x86-64 and FreeBSD x86/x86-64. [44] A current version can be downloaded from Nvidia and most Linux distributions contain it in their own repositories.
The GeForce 10 series is a series of graphics processing units developed by Nvidia, initially based on the Pascal microarchitecture announced in March 2014. This design series succeeded the GeForce 900 series , and is succeeded by the GeForce 16 series and GeForce 20 series using the Turing microarchitecture .
Nvidia's proprietary driver, Nvidia GeForce driver for GeForce, is available for Windows x86/x86-64, Linux x86/x86-64/ARM, OS X 10.5 and later, Solaris x86/x86-64 and FreeBSD x86/x86-64. A current version can be downloaded from the Internet, and some Linux distributions contain it in their repositories.
Nvidia has ceased driver support for GeForce 6 series. The GeForce 6 series is the last to support the Windows 9x family of operating systems, as well as Windows NT 4.0. The successor GeForce 7 series only supports Windows 2000 and later (the Windows 8 drivers also support Windows 10). Windows 95: 66.94 released on December 16, 2004; Download
Unlike AMD's competing GCN-based graphics cards which include a full implementation of hardware-based asynchronous compute, [46] [47] Nvidia planned to rely on the driver to implement a software queue and a software distributor to forward asynchronous tasks to the hardware schedulers, capable of distributing the workload to the correct units.

In the middle: the FOSS stack, composed out of DRM & KMS driver, libDRM and Mesa 3D.Right side: Proprietary drivers: Kernel BLOB and User-space components. nouveau (/ n uː ˈ v oʊ /) is a free and open-source graphics device driver for Nvidia video cards and the Tegra family of SoCs written by independent software engineers, with minor help from Nvidia employees.
Nvidia has ceased driver support for GeForce 7 series. The GeForce 7 series is the last to support the Windows 2000 operating system. The successor GeForce 8 series only supports Windows XP and later (the Windows 8 drivers also support Windows 10). Windows 2000: 94.24 released on May 17, 2006; Download
Mesa GBM is an abstraction of the graphics driver specific buffer management APIs (for instance the various libdrm_* libraries), implemented internally by calling into the Mesa GPU drivers. For example, the Wayland compositor Weston does its rendering using OpenGL ES 2, which it initializes by calling EGL.
