Galdere Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 That's how long the next Nvidia driver release is still off being finished. After being delayed and a bug found, there is still some reason why it will be 2 months between releases. EDIT - Some are saying it is all down to the DX7 fix.

Guest Guest Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 So the next is 258.97? I don't know how this site has "259.xx" when they are not even released or in the beta section yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo the Second Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 I think most of the delay is due to issues with the new 4xx series cards. Apparently, there are a few problems with the performance of these cards, especially in sli, where people have been reporting worse performance with 4xx sli than they used to get with 8xxx sli. Because the drivers are now 'unified' in NVidia terminology they don't want to release drivers until all their problems are sorted for all generations of their hardware. I guess unified drivers might mean slower driver releases! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyond Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Nvidia drivers have always been unified. That new "unified" propaganda is just about adding a larger amount of cards in inf file in every new release of drivers instead of make small n large support versions leaving some customers out in some releases. It's like Nvidia drivers got infs almost like modded infs in this site. The difference is Nvidia exclude only manufacters that don't want Nvidia to release drivers for their machines - like Sony - which exist in this site modded infs.

Steve30x Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 The next drivers also fix DPC latency and apparently fix the PCIExpress 2.0 bug some of us are having. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stefan Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 "GPU Design" shows off 260.52 for GTS450 (other sites mention 259.15) NVIDIA Brasil lists GTS450 already, the site is not yet active though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
