NVIDIA has released GeForce drivers version 301.42, adding a number of new features, updates, and more.
This is the final, WHQL version of these drivers and the first certified release in the 300 series. You should install these new drivers if you have a supported NVIDIA GPU.
Here are some of the changes and fixes available in v301.42:
- Adds support for the GeForce GTX 670, GTX 680, GTX 690, and GT 600-series GPUs.
- Adds several improvements to the NVIDIA Surround gaming system.
- Added support for windowed 3d stereo.
- Added DisplayPort 1.2 compatibility.
- Added support for GPU control of more than two monitors.
- Added several additional new features and fixes, all of which are outlined in the PDF linked below.
- Updates or adds SLI and 3D Vision profiles for dozens of games
- NVIDIA PhysX is at v9.12.0213 and HD Audio is at v1.3.16.0 in this release.
A more complete list of the new features and improvements in this update are available on the NVIDIA driver download page for your operating system. For complete information, see the release notes here [PDF].
You can download the 32-bit version for Windows 7 and Windows Vista here. Versions of the 301.42 driver for 64-bit Windows, as well as for other operating systems like Windows XP, are available here.
Important: This NVIDIA driver was previously available as a beta release (version 301.24). If you installed the beta version of this driver when it was released, please update to v301.42 as soon as possible. It's almost always a better idea to have the WHQL certified version of a driver installed.
Note: If you're using a recent version of NVIDIA's GeForce drivers, just right-click on the NVIDIA icon in the system tray and choose Check for updates.... You can download and install the driver automatically from there. If you want to be prompted for beta driver updates, be sure to check the appropriate box in the Preferences tab.
