nVIDIA Forceware 177.26 BETA Drivers Released

Post by Yoon »

ASUS has posted the Forceware 177.26 drivers on their server yesterday. These drivers are meant to support the upcoming GeForce GTX 280 & 260 video cards. However, mobilenvidia has modded them so that they can run on Quadro FX and GeForce FX (2000/XP only), 6, 7, 8, and 9 series video cards. Since these were originally meant to be run GeForce GTX 280/260 video cards, there may be some unknown bugs on other GeForce cards, so use at your own risk.

Installation Instructions:

1.) Uninstall the NVIDIA drivers from "Program Add/Remove"
2.) Install and Run Driver Sweeper with "NVIDIA Display" selected. (It's recommended to do this, so that left over data from old graphics drivers don't conflict with the new ones.)
3.) Restart the computer.
4.) Install the new Forceware drivers.

EDIT: Installed the 32-Bit and 64-Bit Vista driver versions on my desktop and laptop earlier today. Seems to run well on my 8800 GTX & 7800 GTX Go. These are keepers, for now.
