Users of NVIDIA's famed SLI technology have long bemoaned the lack of multi-monitor support with SLI enabled, but it seems all of that is about to be remedied. NVIDIA is preparing driver release 180 -- known internally as Big Bang II -- this September. The driver is to finally deliver multi-monitor support in an SLI environment.
Other improvements to the ForceWare series of drivers includes the long-awaited implementation of the OpenGL 3.0 specification. The new revision represents the first major overhaul in the history of the OpenGL and brings the aging standard into competition with DirectX 10. The inclusion of OGL3 is sure to please cross-platformers and open-sourcers everywhere.
Lastly, NVIDIA is harnessing the horsepower of their GPUs to enable video transcoding. The firm is promising to deliver a ten-fold speed increase over today's quad core processors.
These drivers are certainly both welcome and ambitious, and we're sure NVIDIA owners are pleased to hear some of these fantastic changes.
