Nvidia has released a new driver (310.19) for Linux platforms which brings major performance improvements and threaded OpenGL performance optimizations.
The driver's release notes haven't been published yet in the Nvidia website, but here are some of the changes in this release taken from Phoronix:
Configuring Stereo Support From NVIDIA Settings
Configuring ViewPortIn and ViewPortOut From NVIDIA Settings
Fixing The Meta-Mode Book-Keeping
Configuring Rotation And Reflection Per Display Device
This boost in performance in Nvidia latest Linux drivers is the result of VALVE's move in porting its games to Linux.
