Crysis: Nvidia ForceWare 169.09 Beta für Vista/XP

Der Grafikchiphersteller Nvidia hat eine neue Betaversion seiner ForceWare veröffentlicht, einen Treiber für nahezu alle Grafikkartenmodelle. Die Version 169.09 ist für Windows XP und Windows Vista erhältlich und soll vor allem beim neuen Taktik-Shooter Crysis für eine bessere Leistung sorgen.
Der Treiber unterstützt unter Windows XP alle Modelle von der GeForce FX 5100 bis zur GeForce 8800 Ultra. Dies gilt allerdings nicht für Windows Vista, wo eine Unterstützung erst ab der GeForce 6 Serie gewährleistet ist.

Bitte beachten Sie, dass es sich bei diesem Treiber um eine Betaversion handelt und daher noch Fehler aufweisen kann. In ersten Tests traten allerdings keine Probleme auf.
