Nvidia heeft nieuwe WHQL-gecertificeerde GeForce/Ion-drivers uit de R304-serie uitgebracht. Deze driver voegt onder meer ondersteuning toe voor de GeForce GTX 660 Ti en treffen we verder ondersteuning voor TXAA aan, een nieuwe en betere manier van anti-aliasing die alleen door de GeForce 600-familie wordt ondersteund. Daarnaast zijn er prestatieverbeteringen waar te nemen op diverse kaarten uit de GeForce 4-, 5- en 600-series. Het volledige changelog van deze release is hieronder te vinden.

- Adds support for GeForce GTX 660 Ti, GeForce GTX 660, and GeForce GTX 650.
- Legacy Support Notification: GeForce 6-series and GeForce 7-series GPUs will be moved to legacy support after GeForce R304 drivers. GeForce R310 drivers (the next major family of drivers) will not support these products.
- Adds support for NVIDIA TXAA
- NVIDIA TXAA is new film-style anti-aliasing technique designed specifically to reduce temporal aliasing (crawling and flickering in motion) through a combination of hardware AA, custom CG film style AA resolve, and a temporal filter.
- The Secret World is the first game to support TXAA. Read about it on GeForce.com.
- TXAA is supported on GeForce GTX 600-series Kepler-based GPUs.
