Since we covered the new driver for the Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems, it goes without saying that we would draw attention to the Windows 8 version as well.

Microsoft's latest OS may not be totally ready yet, but that demo of it is floating around the world.

Knowing this, NVIDIA did the logical thing and produced a graphics driver for it, one that supports the Windows 8 display driver model WDDM 1.2.

Since this is the first package of this sort, there is no lengthy change log for us to pick apart. We did upload it to our servers though.

Just follow one of the links below and download the release appropriate to your system.
