NVIDIA 1.0-8756 Linux display drivers performance

Four months since the launch of the 1.0-8178 Linux display drivers, NVIDIA is finally out of the starting gates with the official replacement. Among many other changes support for the new GeForce 7 series have been added to these 1.0-8756 drivers as well as a few peculiar changes for which we have been documenting over the past month with their internal 1.0-8751 candidate. Today at Phoronix, we have taken these new 1.0-8756 drivers for a performance spin.

This 1.0-8756 release does include several new features such as nvidia-auto-select and Linux/i2c support over the 1.0-8178 release, as well as the hidden workstation-aimed 1.0-8183 release that we disclosed last month. Several other undocumented fixes also appear to have occurred, at least what we had discovered during our 1.0-8751 testing.
