Cratzky · Nov 9, 2010, 07:58 PM

I just noticed this driver on the nvidia site, and it even has a WHQL mark, anyone tried this driver?

Did you do some comparsion against the 260.99 driver and/or the 261 beta driver? I mean for games

Did it improve anything at all?

Um as he said he "can't comment" further the answer is obviously no.

I don't found them are they only for geforce 400 and 500 series?
thanks

I think these are just the official drivers for the GTX 580, apart from this they are the same as the previous WHQL.

DaedalusHelios · Nov 15, 2010, 06:25 AM

That is a GTX 580 driver only

NVIDIA Intros GeForce 262.99 WHQL Drivers for GeF...

wat?

It will work with an editted inf, but dont expect it to be bug free. Reason for its release only on the 580, mainly because test scenarios were only tested for that card.. you may receive performance degradation on forcing it to run on unsupported hardware
