Nvidia has released its official Geforce 182.06 WHQL certified drivers. The new drivers provide support for OpenGL 3.0 on Geforce 8-series, 9-series and 200-series graphics cards.<\/p>\n
The drivers are markedly similar to the Geforce 182.06 WHQL \u2013 candidate drivers. However, Nvidia has resolved the issue regarding system instability when switching between performance states on Geforce 9800GTX\/GTX+\/GT\/GX2 and Geforce 8800GTS\/GT\/GS graphics cards. The addition of OpenGL 3.0 is also new.<\/p>\n
According to Fudzilla the same performance benefits present in the previous 182.05 drivers can be found in Nvidia\u2019s latest driver package:<\/p>\n
\u201cUp to 8% performance increase in Fallout 3 at high resolution and AA.
\nUp to 10% performance increase in F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin.
\nUp to 9% performance increase in Half-Life 2 at high resolution with AA.
\nUp to 11% performance increase in Left 4 Dead at high resolution with AA.
\nUp to 10% performance increase in Race Driver: GRID at high resolution and AA.\u201d<\/p>\n
The bad news is that the release notes issued with the drivers mention that SLI antialiasing has limited support.<\/p>\n
