Nvidia GeForce 310.61 Beta Display Drivers

Although not strictly Indie/Retro related, you will need the latest drivers in most situations for games. Be warned these are not the WHQL Nvidia drivers but Beta's which means they may contain problems or be perfectly fine as is the way with Beta's.




The new GeForce 310.61 beta drivers are now available to download. Otherwise identical to last week's 310.54 beta driver, 310.61 beta improves compatibility in Hitman: Absolution and Planetside 2, and supports a new Black Ops II SLI profile that's available through NVIDIA update. 

Previously in 310.54

This is the recommended driver for the best experience in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and Assassin's Creed III, providing up to 26% faster performance in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and up to 18% faster performance in Assassin’s Creed III, as well as smooth, shimmer-free graphics with TXAA antialiasing in both games.
