Nvidia hat heute einen Beta-Treiber zum Download bereitgestellt. Vermutlich handelt es sich hierbei ähnlich wie bei AMDs Catalyst-Hotfix um eine angepasste Version für die heute Abend erscheinende Demoversion von Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. In der Changelog wird dies aber nicht erwähnt.
Der Treiber steht für Windows XP/2000 und Vista in 32 und 64 Bit bereit. Unterstützt werden alle Grafikkarten ab der Geforce-6-Reihe. Das Changelog enthält folgende Informationen:
- This driver supports single GPU and NVIDIA SLI™ technology on DirectX 9, DirectX 10, and OpenGL for GeForce 6, 7, and 8 series GPUs. Improved compatibility for Crysis and BioShock.
- Numerous game and application compatibility fixes. Please read the release notes for more information on product support, feature limitations, driver fixes and known compatibility issues.
- Improved performance of the graphics memory manager on GeForce 8 series GPUs running DirectX 9 applications in single GPU configurations.
- These improvements solve cases of reported performance slowdowns in
some 3D applications with high graphics settings and resolutions.
