Great news for all those looking for the newest display drivers from Nvidia GeForce.com now offers new beta version 290.36 drivers for NVIDIA graphics cards. Along with the Nvidia PhysX version 9.11.11.07 and the updated SLI profiles for Crysis2, Heroes and Generals, Inversion, Stronghold 3, and Syndicate, the 290.36 also sports an update for the High Definition audio driver to version 1.3.9.0. It looks like the main update section in the Nvidia 290.36 Beta for desktops concerns the 3D realm: no less than 12 games have had their 3D profiles updated, while the BenQ XL2420T and BenQ XL2420TX monitors received new support over native DisplayPort 1.1 connection. The Verde driver addresses several issues affecting graphic performance with DirectX 10 GPUs and delivers SLI profile updates for a significantly larger number of gaming titles. Skyrim, Battlefield 3 and Batman: Arkham City are, of course, on the list since it was rather hard to believe that Nvidia could do better than AMD from the first attempt.
The new NVIDIA GeForce 290.36 beta drivers are now available to download. Recommended for gamers diving into Batman: Arkham City, the drivers also add official support for Ambient Occlusion in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Furthermore, a Battlefield 3 fix is included to combat the random appearance of triangular artifacts, a SLI shadow bug is stamped out in Crysis 2, and Settlers 7 corruption is eliminated.
On the tech side, the 290.36 beta drivers enable NVIDIA Surround on newly-released X79 SLI-certified motherboards, and native 3D Vision DisplayPort 1.1 connections are now possible on BenQ XL2420T and BenQ XL2420TX monitors.
