Deadwood has released a new NVIDIA driver for AROS 64-bit, based on the open-source nouveau + Mesa stack, which provides full 2D and 3D (OpenGL 4.6) acceleration on GeForce cards ranging from the 8 series (Tesla) to the 900 series (Maxwell).
This is the biggest leap forward in graphics for AROS in years - the system now features a smooth desktop, a modern 3D API, and support for a wide range of PCIe cards. It also marks a milestone in the system’s full transition from 32-bit to 64-bit, as modern 3D drivers were the missing piece of this migration.
The community has confirmed that the driver works on many models, and the whole thing was showcased in a short promo video:

This sounds fantastic :) Time to test AROS again on a recommended platform / with recommended HW again, I guess.
