Topic: New Nvidia driver package on tap for May 24

http://blogs.nvidia.com/ntersect/2010/0 … eline.html

Looks like Nvidia is poised to release their newest "Unified" driver package on or about 24 May.
This new 256.*.* series driver branch is supposed to bring together combined support for all desktop and notebook graphics but this is unconfirmed.
For now the only confirmed support is for improved performance on only GTX400 series GPUs and new SLI controls. (yay)

Our first 256 based driver is planned to post to nvidia.com on May 24th and will enable new SLI setup controls and improve performance on several key applications for GTX 400 GPUs.

Many GTX 400 series owners are very upset at having purchased these graphics cards that cannot do all the features advertised on the box (ie, multi-screen surround).  Having to wait until a future (June?) driver release only makes things worse for them.
As always, the team at DriverPacks will heavily test these new drivers whenever they get released and will only incorporate them IF they pass our rigorous testing.

Stability before Currency.

Finally were going to get AIO driver packages, I had to wait over a year, lazy Toshiba would not update the OEM drivers for Geforce Go 7300 until nvidia released 197.45 with a nv4_whql.inf with support for my card

BTW do any driverpacks have 197.45 with this AIO INF?

No.  197.45 is broken.  For the 10.05/10.06 release we're having the 197.13 desktop & 197.16 notebook.

I have the new beta 257.15 drivers now.  Unfortunately they do not contain any notebook drivers.
