NVIDIA has published a new set of WHQL graphics drivers for GeForce 6, 7, 8, 9, 100, 200, and 300-series desktop GPUs and ION desktop GPUs.
According to GPU Caps Viewer, this is still an OpenGL 3.2 driver (no OpenGL 3.3 support like in R197.15).
This driver automatically installs PhysX 9.10.0129 runtimes.
What’s New in Version 197.45
- Recommended for achieving the best performance with the new GPU accelerated features in Adobe CS5.
- Added support for the new version of MotionDSPʹs video enhancement software, vReveal, which adds support for HD output.
- This driver package installs NVIDIA PhysX System Software v9.10.0129.
R197.45 Downloads:
Here are some info from GPU Caps Viewer:
– Drivers Version: 8.17.11.9745 (4-3-2010) – nvoglv64
– OpenGL Version: 3.2.0
– GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language) Version: 1.50 NVIDIA via Cg compiler
– OpenGL Extensions: 206 extensions for DX10.1 GPUs (like the GeForce GT 240) or 200 for DX10 GPUs (like the GeForce GTX 275).
If you have a DX10.1 GPU, here are the additional OpenGL extensions:
- GL_ARB_draw_buffers_blend: OpenGL 4.0 feature
- GL_ARB_sample_shading: OpenGL 4.0 feature
- GL_ARB_texture_cube_map_array: OpenGL 4.0 feature
- GL_ARB_texture_gather: OpenGL 4.0 feature
- GL_ARB_texture_query_lod
- GL_NV_gpu_program4_1: not yet document.
The ForceWare 196.34 driver exposes 201 OpenGL extensions for a DX10 GPU. In this new 197.45, the WGL_NVX_DX_interop extension has been removed.
