  • Includes numerous bug fixes, including the following key fix (additional bug fixes can be found in the release notes on the documentation tab): For graphics cards supporting multiple clock states, 3D clocks correctly return to 2D clocks after exiting a 3D application.
  • Users without US English operating systems can select their language and download the International driver here .

New in Release 190/191 Drivers

  • Include support for DirectCompute with Windows 7 and GeForce 8-series or higher graphics cards.
  • Installs PhysX System Software version 9.09.0814.
  • Supports NVIDIA 3D Vision Discover, a complete, low cost solution to start your immersive stereoscopic 3D experience. NOTE: If you are using NVIDIA 3D Vision active shutter glasses, you must download the separate 3D Vision driver which includes the driver for the 3D Vision IR emitter.
  • Supports CUDA 2.3 for improved performance in GPU Computing applications. See CUDA Zone for more details.
  • Supports a new user-controlled power management setting for select GeForce 9-series and later graphics cards (only available on cards that already support more than one power state). This option allows users to set a performance level for each DirectX or OpenGL application.

Existing Support:
