14 DAY TRIAL // It wasn't long ago that we drew attention to the new AMD Catalyst driver, and now NVIDIA has taken its turn at launching new software for its consumer-oriented graphics cards.
NVIDIA has released drivers for both desktops and mobile personal computers, like it does each and every month.
The desktop driver adds SLI profiles for 7554, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, Mass Effect 3, Oil Rush and Red Faction: Armageddon.
The company also added and/or upgraded 3D Vision game profiles for a number of titles, as well as 3D Vision windowed mode on DLP HDTVs and “Optimized for GeForce” passive 3D monitors.
Furthermore, the PhysX system software and HD Audio driver have been updated and it should now be possible to save/delete custom resolution options too.
As for bug fixes, the GeForce GTX 590 fan should stop working at 100% unless needed, and driver timeouts will cease during simultaneous playback of multiple videos.
Moving on to the notebook software, the NVIDIA Verde Notebook Display Driver 295.51 Beta does pretty much the same things as its desktop counterpart.
Here is a shortened list of what games get SLI profiles and 3D vision.
