Download NVIDIA GeForce 197.25 Beta Drivers

Just two days ahead of the official release of NVDIA's next-generation Fermi GeForce cards, the Santa Clara, California-based company is serving its users with yet another set of Beta GeForce drivers. The new release comes approximately one month after the company launched the GeForce 197.13 beta drivers. Unfortunately, the release notes of the new drivers don't include any details on the aforementioned cards, but there's a good chance that these will work with the new GeForce lineup.

As all NVIDIA graphics drivers, the new version offers support to users of GeForce 6, 7, 8, 9, 100, 200, 300-series desktop GPUs and ION desktop GPUs. According to the release highlights, the company recommends this driver for users that want to experience the latest Starcraft II Beta. Unfortunately, the differences between the GeFroce 197.25 and the previous drivers are limited to the added support for the aforementioned gaming application. The driver should solve an issue that would have GeForce 200-series gamers experience game crashes and flickers.

Back at CeBIT 2010, we had a chance to take a look at a LAN party, where several gamers were given the chance to play and test the upcoming Blizzard title. The event was hosted in the Intel Game Masters hall, where most of the action took place, as far as gaming enthusiasts are concerned. The enthusiasm around the upcoming release is considerable, so NVIDIA has to take measures to provide its consumers with the necessary support.

The new drivers are available for download, right here on Softpedia, following the links below. We should note that, at this time, NVIDIA also offers support for Windows Vista and 7, 32 and 64-bit operating systems, for the said driver. We are expecting a new WHQL release that will add support for the company's much-anticipated Fermi-based cards.
