Description Marius Brehler 2016-01-04 08:23:47 UTC

The 352 drivers series contain a critical bug which for Tesla Users, fixed with 352.68. Also NVIDIA's homepage only lists Tesla as supported devices, the documentation shipped with the drivers (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-352.68/html/supportedchips.html), indicates that also GeForce GPUs are supported.

A version bump would be highly appreciated.

Reproducible: Always

That doesn't look like a normal release, as it can't be found on the usual lists and download site. It's in the tree now, though.

Thanks for the report!

Yes, it was somehow not obvious. Choosing different language (not English) you also only get the information
   New in Release 352.68
   Critical update
Thanks for bumping that quickly.
