nVIDIA’s current driver series
nVidia are really pumping out the drivers from November on, they are also working on a number of different series.
Here are my thoughts on them:
Forceware 185.xx
185.20 introduces us to possibly Windows 7 style drivers, it includes a new setting ‘Ambient Occlusion’
The driver INF has been completely reworked what I assume is to get ready for Windows 7.
But saying that, the old style INF works just as fine, as both are really the same, but nVIDIA are tidying up years of pumping out GPU’s.
Forceware 181.xx
Not sure about this, it may just be one of continuation of 180.xx series, bit to early to tell, it does look like a 180.xx driver.
Forceware 180.xx
Latest desktop driver set, mostly tweaking the GX2x0 series GPU’s
Forceware 179.xx
latest Mobile driver set, look here for the newest drivers for Notebooks, filling up now with OEM versions
