_Finalmente a série 256 sai da casca.
_Muito aguardada pelas inúmeras inovações, dentre elas OpenGL 4.0. A nova safra da série de drivers forcewere chega na versão 257.21.
_Abaixo um copicole do site da nVidia.
Obs. Ressucitando um equipamento muito antigo de um cliente com uma placa AGP hj pela manhã, o dito driver foi instalado e a velha máquina, um Dual Xeon HT 2.8Ghz, 2GB RAM, XP 32 com uma AGP 8X Geforce 6200 TC, é literalmente outra!!! Parabéns à equipe de desenvolvedores de driver da nVidia, mais uma vez, pelo "excelente trabalho de sempre"!
This is the first driver release from the Release 256 family of drivers (versions 256.xx to 259.xx). This driver package supports GeForce 6, 7, 8, 9, 100, 200, 300, and 400-series desktop GPUs as well as ION desktop GPUs. Learn more about Release 256 drivers here .
