NVIDIA releases beta Forceware update
Thursday 31st July 2008, 03:33:00 PM, written by Mark
NVIDIA has released another set of beta Forceware drivers to the Geforce 8, 9, and 200 series owning masses, bumping the version number to 177.79.
There's a healthy list of fixes and updates for games such as Call of Duty 4, Counter-Strike, Civilization 4, and Crysis, as well as a few fixes for multi-display users and a few more for multi-GPU users.
Also noteworthy is that GPU temperature monitoring and overclocking controls are now supported when you install NVIDIA's System Tools software.
Finally, unofficially at least, is that Folding@Home processing is apparently now supported on the Geforce 8 and 9 series out-of-the-box, without any need to modify .inf files or such.
Overall, however, this seems to have been released by NVIDIA to support recently announced Geforce 9500 GT and 9600 GT graphics hardware.
You can grab them for Windows Vista, Vista 64-bit, Windows XP, and Windows XP 64-bit.
