Nvidia heeft een nieuwe versie van de 306 bèta-GeForce/Ion-drivers uitgebracht. De drivers zijn geschikt voor Windows XP, Vista, 7 en 8 en er zijn zoals gebruikelijk aparte downloads voor 32bit- en 64bit-omgevingen. Het changelog maakt melding van zaken die we ook al in de 305-release zagen, zoals ondersteuning voor de GeForce GTX 660 Ti en TXAA, een nieuwe en betere manier van anti-aliasing, die alleen door de GeForce 600-familie wordt ondersteund. Daarnaast worden prestatieverbeteringen ten opzichte van de 301.42 WHQL-release beloofd en zitten er diverse nieuwe of bijgewerkte sli- en 3d vision-profielen in.
GPU Support
- Supports the new GeForce GTX 660 Ti GPU.
- 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.
