In combination with the new NVidia GeForce GTS450 cards swarming the newswaves today, NVidia has released a new driver.  Normally this wouldn’t be huge news, except this one boasts some pretty significant performance improvements and new features across the board.  While they, obviously, focus on the new 400-series cards, they claim that even older hardware will benefit.

Shown above is the GTX460 boosts for a variety of games, showing anywhere from 7% to 30% improved performance, but they also have vastly improved the SLI scaling functions, enabling SLI scaling of up to 90-95%!    That means those of you still using older hardware can buy another identical card, and nearly double your performance across the board via SLI.
