NVIDIA has taken the wraps off of the newest driver revision for GeForce 100, 200, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000 GPUs. Weighing in at roughly 100MB, this beta Windows XP/Vista/7 driver delivers the following changes:
- Adds support for OpenGL 3.2 for ION, GeForce 100, 200, 8000 and 9000-series GPUs.
- Big anti-aliasing or SLI performance improvements for a handful of titles.
- For graphics cards supporting multiple clock states, 3D clocks correctly return to 2D clocks after exiting a 3D application. This will have big power savings for impacted users.
- Adds support for DirectX 11’s DirectCompute (Compute Shaders) API on GeForce 8000, 9000, 100 and 200 GPUs.
- Added support for 3D Vision Discover, a feature to enable stereoscopic 3D for games.
This is a fairly important release, particularly due to the inclusion of the DirectCompute API. Note that this does not mean the compatible GPUs are DX11-ready; DirectCompute merely requires stream processors, and all recent GPUs have them. It can be expected that ATI will do the same thing with their next driver release.
