NVIDIA Launches GeForce 301.42 WHQL Drivers

NVIDIA recently launched their GeForce 301.42 WHQL drivers, bringing with it better performance, 4-way SLI for the GTX 670, and more. All GeForce GPUs all of the way back from the 8-series, which seems like forever ago, now have FXAA, Adaptive Sync, Frame Rate Target, and Surround features. Performance is up 20% in Skyrim, apparently, over the previous driver.

There are more SLI and 3DVision profiles with this driver update, as well, meaning you’ll get more options for more games. There’s a whole host of changes other than what I listed, which you can read for yourself here. If you want to update your drivers, head on over here for GeForce cards.
