NVIDIA GeForce 190.38 Beta Drivers Released
NVIDIA seems to have a big update for its GeForce driver suite underway, with the bump in version number from the 186 series to 190. The first release in the series carries the unsupported beta tag. Version 190.38 beta introduces a series of changes as indicated in the release notes documents (for Windows 7, Vista, and XP), though the list of supported NVIDIA products remains largely unchanged from its previous release. Important changes are as follows:
DOWNLOAD: NVIDIA GeForce 190.38 BETA for Windows 7/Vista 64-bit | Windows 7/Vista 32-bit | Windows XP 64-bit | Windows XP 32-bit |

setting performance/power levels per app is interesting. lock to 2D clocks for older apps, for example.

New power management feature sounds interesting, think it would be a nice feature cause when I'm watching some old videos i would prefer to conserve power with a down clocking to standard 2D frequencies, i cant seem to down clock with codec like ffshow and CoreAVC so hopefully now i can independently select when to use full performance 3D clocks or standard.

I cant force AA on games with these drivers, other users have the same thing as mentioned on Guru3d nvidia driver forum?? Do confirm, so we can see if its the drivers with all gpu´s or just some? I have 2 GTX260´s in sli, AA doesnt work at all?? Im on Windows 7 B7600 x64?!

I'm only interested if it has an SLi profile for Furmark 1.7, nVidia's clearly lagging behind when the worlds best graphics stress test isn't supported in SLi. I had four R770s spun up at 91C apiece but try it on a GTX295 and only one GPU spins up. What gives?
BTW this is the second 190.x series beta driver, I've been using 190.15 for a couple of weeks. Last edited by Initialised; Jul 17, 2009 at 12:07 AM. |

Why in gods name is stereoscopic 3D service running in the background when i don't give a shit about 3D, they need to stop putting all these bloated junk with drivers.

edit: actually it didn't even though some said it would. Just uninstalled and it removed the running service too without a need to reboot. If you don't want it to install at all, go to the display driver folder (once you have started install) and rename 3DVision_1xx.xx.exe to something else.Have it running with 186.18 too, even though I did know about it before installing. I was jsut interested if you could use it for games with red/green glasses, like so said. Takes 22megs of memory for nothing, maybe I'll kill it as I don't even have glasses to test it on ![]() Power management stuff sounds interesting, anyone care to post a screenie about it and is 2D mode selectable for GT200 cards?
