NVIDIA GeForce 280.26 WHQL Drivers Released
Usually I post about AMD graphics card drivers being released, but this time it’s NVIDIA’s graphics card drivers that have an update. NVIDIA updated their GeForce drivers to 280.26, adding a whole list of new features (some of which will be below). Download them here and read a full list of updates here.
Resolved Single-Card Issues
- When installing the driver in Windows safe mode, the driver installation fails with an
“NVIDIA Installer failed” message: The NVIDIA PhysX driver installer is not compatible with
Microsoft’s policy for safe mode, so the failure occurs when the PhysX driver is installed. To install the
NVIDIA graphics driver in safe mode, deselect the PhysX driver from the list of NVIDIA driver
components during safe mode installation. - GeForce 400 Series: “Out of Memory” error messages occur when loading certain saved DirectX 9 games
with 3D Vision enabled. - GeForce 500 series: Crysis 2 – when played using DirectX 9, weapons become semi-transparent.
- GeForce 500 Series: Crysis 2 “Seat of Power” – weapons are not drawn correctly.
- GeForce 500 series: World of Tanks – the game hitches and stutters, especially while moving around the view.
- GeForce GTX 280M: “Could not find compatible graphics hardware” error occurs when installing
the notebook driver.
