New Nvidia Release80 ForceWare Information

NvNews managed to get some new information on the upcoming Release80 ForceWare drivers from Nvidia. From what they have learned it will contain a lot of SLI specific enhancements:

  • TV-out / HDTV-out support for even higher resolution gaming support
  • Mix and match vendors - for example, pairing an SLI supported graphics card from MSI with one from BFG or XFX
  • Mix and match framebuffers (via Coolbits) - pairing a 128MB graphics card with a 256MB graphics card
  • Ability to enable vsync for all Direct3D and OpenGL games
  • Dynamically enable/disable SLI - rebooting is eliminated!
  • Primary Display Switching
  • Auto Display Detection
  • Linux Support

    Also, the number of
    SLI Optimized games will increase to around 150.
