The latest Nvidia driver 375.20 is now available. The interesting change is that it increases the OpenGL shader cache size, which may help with games like Deus Ex Mankind Divided on Linux.
One of the issues Deus Ex has, is that it will often re-cache everything when you load it up (that long loading time when you first open it), this driver should hopefully be a fix for that. I can't test it yet myself, as I am waiting for the PPA to be updated.
On top of that it also adds in support for newer GPU models, adds in support for xorg 1.19 and more. It's nice to see Nvidia so quick to ready their drivers for newer versions of xorg.

So then Linux users will have to wait for the PPA to get updated,well I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 so I'll wait patiently for the update via PPA.

Quoting: koyal13I recently update on Arch to this version... but I found a lot of games where appear freezes, bad renders and some suddenly "black textures". All are old problems that we have seen in the past, but I'm discovering on games like Grid Autosport, Mad Max and many of my best games (right now I cant try Deus).
Very bad update for me...
no issues..
i had mentioned games freezing with earlier version but it turned out to be problem on ck kernel which was 4.8.3.
latest ck kernel doesnt have that problem. stock kernel is also fine

The PPA has updated. I plan to buy DEUS: EX the next days. I've a GTX 970. How is the performance, what settings should I choose?
Is it really worth to update to the nvidia-375 driver? Currently I'm useing the 367 driver which is includes into Ubuntu 16.4.1 meanwhile. Runs very stable, but I have some issues with suspend to ram.

Yeah you guys are right, don't know how I got confused on it, I am still waiting on the PPA also, but it seems like it stalled, as they haven't even put the 375 betas on it. Hasn't been updated in a while. Maybe need to find a new one?
