Nvidia Driver Policy Changes

Published by

Just spotted this bit of Info at [H]ardOCP. Apparently Nvidia is making a shift in their questionable driver policy of the past, instructing their developer teams to proceed their work transparently and more carefully. It looks like there is going to be a change quite soon. No cheats!

We have had some long and very candid conversations with a lot of the top brass from Nvidia this week. At the forefront of those discussions a topic that has been on everyone's mind. We have wanted the straight story on the 3DMark fiasco and Nvidia wanted to talk about solutions so it would not happen again. Here are three slides from an internal presentation that are worth a thousand words, so I will let them talk for themselves.

Your thoughts on these new Nvidia Optimization Guidelines are more important than our editorializing on it currently, but surely we will be doing that soon. Please feel free to share your opinions because we certainly want to hear them.
