NVidia has just announced the first release of the new ‘Verde’ drivers, Release 256, which offers several features. The biggest, however, is the new integration of Notebook & Desktop drivers.
Now, before I dive into the new features, I wanted to let our notebook customers know that this driver is also available for notebook PCs, including those with NVIDIA Optimus technology. Not long ago, I told you about desktop and notebook releases being aligned starting with Release 256. So, all Windows 7 and Windows Vista desktop releases will now be accompanied by a same version Verde Notebook Driver.
But that’s not all. This driver has performance optimizations (that include the GTX400 cards), new multi-GPU options, and BluRay 3D support. They also have CUDA 3.1 and OpenGL4.0 support officially, in contrast to the previous beta releases.
Lots of new stuff to try, let us know how it works for you!
