Watch How NVIDIA & Valve Ported Source To Linux

Written by Michael Larabel in Valve on 6 April 2013 at 09:48 PM EDT. 20 Comments

Curious how NVIDIA Corp and Valve Software brought the Source Engine to Linux and their game porting lessons learned?

Earlier this week I wrote about the NVIDIA and Valve sharing their lessons in porting Source to Linux. That article drew a fair amount of interest from the many Linux enthusiasts and Linux gamers reading Phoronix. Questions were raised whether there was a video recording of the presentation to shed additional light on the matter.

Tom's Hardware has now posted a video/audio recording to YouTube of this joint presentation done in March by Valve and NVIDIA. Embedded below is the video for easy viewing.
