Nvidia heeft de eerste volgens WHQL gecertificeerde GeForce/Ion-drivers uit de R300-generatie uitgebracht. In de R300-serie treffen we onder andere ondersteuning voor de kaarten uit de Kepler-familie aan en moeten de kaarten uit de GeForce 400- en 500-serie een stuk beter presteren. Dat komt onder meer door fxaa, een nieuwe anti-aliasing-technologie die gebruikmaakt van de shaders. Het volledige changelog van deze release is hieronder te vinden.
