NVIDIA 177.70 Beta Linux Driver

Written by Michael Larabel in NVIDIA on 28 August 2008 at 12:50 PM EDT. 7 Comments

Last week NVIDIA had released the NVIDIA 177.67 driver and then immediately following that was the NVIDIA 177.68 driver and now today marks the release of the NVIDIA 177.70 driver. Like the two former releases, the 177.70 release is another beta driver.

The NVIDIA 177.70 Linux driver doesn't have many changes to mention compared to the 177.67 and 177.68 releases but just a few bug-fixes. What exactly changed with this new release isn't mentioned, but we anticipate it to be a few more RENDER improvements and other minor fixes. There is no release page for this NVIDIA 177.70 Linux driver either, but it's just referenced in an NvNews Forum Thread with the x86 and x86_64 download links.
