So why am I sooooo exited about this release you may be asking yourself? Well, I downloaded it just to see how it performs, and, incredibly, I can now run Crysis at 1920X1200 with Very High settings EXTREMELY SMOOTHLY!!!!!!! I couldn't believe my eyes!!!! All you Geforce 8 and up owners MUST DOWNLOAD NOW!!!!!

On another note... seems Nvidia website via the normal download drivers will not give you the driver it comes from http://www.nvidia.com/content/forcewithin/us/download.asp only so far.

Also there are some other free goodies on that site I put up, check it out (demos and even a full game)

[Philosophical45]

no. it means nvidia hasn't put it up on their usual section of the website for download yet....


but it is available here http://www.nvidia.com/content/forcewithin/us/download.asp
