​Hi,

Is anyone running an Nvidia card on a CPU that does not support
POPCNT?


I have been reading about Blue Screens of Death being experience by
Windows users due to Nvidia drivers not supporting CPUs which do not
have support for POPCNT. 



I am wondering if this issue will affect Linux users too?.
Particularly those who use the Nvidia proprietary drivers. I do not
know if Nouveau drivers will require POPCNT.

To check for POPCNT support in Linux I used:


$ grep popcnt /proc/cpuinfo


and/or



$ lscpu | grep popcnt



For my CPU it returned the relevant values of "sse4_2" "popcnt".




George.
