NVIDIA has launched version 190.38 of its GeForce/ION ForceWare driver. The release, supporting GeForce 6, 7, 8, 9, 100, and 200-series GPUs, is available for Microsoft's Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems.
New features in the release are listed by NVIDIA as follows:
- Adds support for OpenGL 3.1
- Adds support for CUDA 2.3 for improved performance in GPU Computing applications. See CUDA Zone for more details.
- Adds a new user-controlled power management setting for select GeForce 9-series and later graphics cards (cards must already support more than one power state). This option allows users to set a performance level for each DirectX or OpenGL application.
