An open-source effort to write a Mesa Nvidia driver called Nouveau is developed mostly by the community. Besides 3D applications such as games, modern display servers (X.org's Glamor or Wayland's Weston) use OpenGL/EGL; therefore all graphics typically go through Mesa.
A current version can be downloaded from the Internet, and some Linux distributions contain it in their repositories. The 4 October 2013 beta Nvidia GeForce driver 331.13 supports the EGL interface, enabling support for Wayland in conjunction with this driver. [33] [34] Nvidia's free and open-source driver is named nv. [35]
Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM, [1] initially LDDM as Longhorn Display Driver Model and then WVDDM in times of Windows Vista) is the graphic driver architecture for video card drivers running Microsoft Windows versions beginning with Windows Vista. [2]
In addition to NVIDIA's official list of titles, there is an independently developed stereoscopic 3D games database that is put together by end users. Featuring a rules based certification grade and numeric Quality Assurance score, GameGrade3D (GG3D) details required game settings and expected visual anomalies (if any).
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.
Omega Drivers were unofficial, third-party device drivers for ATI and NVIDIA graphics cards, created by Angel Trinidad. They differed from the official drivers in that they offer more customization and extra features. They are compatible with some ATI graphics cards and some NVIDIA cards that use Detonator drivers.
Model – The marketing name for the processor, assigned by Nvidia. Launch – Date of release for the processor. Code name – The internal engineering codename for the processor (typically designated by an NVXY name and later GXY where X is the series number and Y is the schedule of the project for that generation).
The Linux DRM subsystem includes free and open-source drivers to support hardware from the 3 main manufacturers of GPUs for desktop computers (AMD, NVIDIA and Intel), as well as from a growing number of mobile GPU and System on a chip (SoC) integrators. The quality of each driver varies highly, depending on the degree of cooperation by the ...
