Fresh: Nvidia Display Driver 290.36 Beta Is Out

Great news for all those looking for the newest display drivers from Nvidia: the 290.36 Beta software is available as of a couple or hours ago, for both desktop-oriented cards and  notebooks – the Verde edition.

Along with the Nvidia PhysX version 9.11.11.07 and the updated SLI profiles for Crysis2, Heroes and Generals, Inversion, Stronghold 3, and Syndicate, the 290.36 also sports an update for the High Definition audio driver to version 1.3.9.0.

It looks like the main update section in the Nvidia 290.36 Beta for desktops concerns the 3D realm: no less than 12 games have had their 3D profiles updated, while the BenQ XL2420T and BenQ XL2420TX monitors received new support over native DisplayPort 1.1 connection.

The Verde driver addresses several issues affecting graphic performance with DirectX 10 GPUs and delivers SLI profile updates for a significantly larger number of gaming titles. Skyrim, Battlefield 3 and Batman: Arkham City are, of course, on the list since it was rather hard to believe that Nvidia could do better than AMD from the first attempt.

You can download the Nvidia Display Driver 290.36 Beta that's right for your computer/ operating system for free, as ever.
