Linux and the NVidia GTX 660?

[mikeym]

Hi,

I'm considering switching my AMD card for a NVidia GTX 660 (EVGA in fact). That appear s to be quite a new series or cards, I was wondering if anyone has experience of this model under Linux and how it performed / how stable it was?

No problem, it was supported by the drivers before the card was even released.

I've read that the NVidia binaries support it, but you'll understand that I would like to hear from users who are actually running one as I have spend most of the last year without any functioning driver for my AMD card and still significantly sub optimal Linux performance.

I've had a GTX-660 since Sept without a single issue. Unlike AMD, Nvidia's binary driver is usually up to snuff.

Good to hear. Thanks for the response.
