NVIDIA have released new display drivers for Windows Vista and Windows
XP, improving performance for DX10 SLI under Vista for certain GPU
combinations, and fixing a slew of issues, performance hurdles and
compatibility problems under XP and Vista both.
162.22 is the Vista driver release, and you can find 32-bit and 64-bit versions available for install. Windows XP gets 162.18 for both 32-bit and 64-bit too. And while it's a few points behind in minor version number, given NVIDIA's driver tree structure that could mean anything.
The releases are all WHQL certified, which is nice if you're a fan of the letters W, H, Q and L, and you can grab them from the NVIDIA driver download page. Alternatively, we have links below.
If these drivers do amazing things for you in terms of performance, IQ or game compatibility, let us know in the linked discussion thread. Alternatively if they leave you wondering if there is a God, because God simply wouldn't allow pixels to look THAT freaking bad or render THAT freaking slow, let us know too. We entertain God hypotheses that involve pixels here at Beyond3D.
The drivers support all the latest GeForce products released in the last couple of years, too. Hooray for that!
