Are nVidia Linux drivers SMP?

Post by loophole »

I was just wondering if anybody knew if nVidia's Linux drivers were multi-threaded so that they support SMP? Actually, along those same lines, are nVidia's Windows drivers multi-threaded too?

Thanks in advance,

I can tell you for a fact that they're SMP safe, I ran both a gf3 and gf4 on my Tyan Tiger MP based system.

Problem is that nvidia's drivers have always been fairly squirrely, but at least they've markedly improved in stability over the last year.
