NVIDIA driver updates don't come around as quickly as we'd hope - the last release dates back to early March - but when a new driver does become available it tends to pack a fair few upgrades.
This week, GeForce users are being treated to version 301.42, the first WHQL-certified unified driver from the R300 family of driver.
The new release supports all 8-series GPUs and beyond (including the new 600-series range) and introduces a long list of improvements that includes performance gains of up to 20 per cent in certain games, expanded 3D Vision support, over a dozen updated SLI profiles, added support for four-way SLI using the GeForce GTX 670, and a collection of single- and multi-GPU bug fixes.
Following on from last month's beta release, the WHQL driver retains support for NVIDIA's high-speed FXAA algorithm, as well as Adaptive VSync and Frame Rate Target, and NVIDIA has a lengthy blog post extolling the virtues of FXAA sampling that you may find interesting.
