GeForce Release 177.79 beta Posted on 30/07/2008 at 15:16 by Nicolas
The arrival of three new cards was taken advantage by Nvidia developers to put online the GeForce Release 177.79 beta. While all GeForce 8, 9 and GTX 200 are supported (including the 9500 GS which has not yet been launched) in 32 and 64-bit versions of Windows XP and Vista, we noticed that aging GeForce FX, 6 and 7s are excluded.
In terms of innovations, the company with the chameleon logo mentions an improvement of performances (without being more precise) s well as bug fixes in Call of Duty 4 and Counter Strike with the GeForce GTX in Windows XP and Vista. Still with this last OS, there should now no longer be control panel crashes after changing the display profile when a GeForce 9800 GX2 or 8800 GTX is relayed to several screens. Moreover, there should no longer be a corruption of textures used in the sky in Crysis after a change of resolution with GeForce 8600 GTS or 9600 GTs in SLI.
