Nvidia 190.09 Drivers are Great!

Latest Nvidia drivers for linux has really nice speed boost. Most noticeable when gaming under Wine. When playing some latest games i had weird pauses at some effects. Now all of them are gone and the game I'm playing is almost smooth all the time =)

For Ubuntu Deb packages i suggest this PPA for latest Nvidia Drivers. https://launchpad.net/~thefirstm/+archive/ppa

No stability problems encountered? the 190.xxx series is still beat, no?

The only bad drivers I have had in the last year was 180.29 all other
versions were trouble free. I am using 185.18.14 now but I will try
the 190.09 soon.

That and also weird issues with the console. I mean console
applications had problems. I do not remember the specifics because I
quickly switched to a different version after hitting the bad
driver...

Umm..the latest Nvidia drivers is 185.18.14 not 190.x. Those drivers are only for Windows.

try looking in the beta section -
http://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-uk

look at the bottom of the page, the 190 drivers are beta drivers
(although i believe they will be included in karmic if you use ubuntu)
