Today we released the second driver from our new Release 260 family of drivers. We introduced many of the new features and performance upgrades in Release 260 drivers last month, when we released the first beta version. This newest version of Release 260 adds support for the new Fermi-based GeForce GT 430 GPU, which is available world-wide starting today from NVIDIA’s board partners. GeForce GT 430 is specifically designed to power today’s cutting-edge digital media PCs, providing a great experience for photo and video editing, Blu-ray 3D, mainstream gaming, and the next generation of GPU-accelerated Web browsers.

Version 260.89 also includes several bug fixes from the earlier beta release and adds SLI support for some of the latest PC gaming titles including Dead Rising 2 and City of Heroes: Going Rogue.

The new version 260.89 can be downloaded here. We expect to post a WHQL-certified version soon.

Enjoy Release 260 and the new GT 430!

Are some of the SLI bugs from the 8800GT support also fixed? since I updated last time, I’ve had loads of trouble with games like Battlefield Heroes and some Unity3D games also crashes + some simple webpages with YouTube videos were suddently ALSO able to crash the graphicdrivers.
Sometimes it also sounds as the fans arent going down in speed after a while, eventhough the game/application has been closed for longer periodes. I have to cold-reboot to get rid of it.
I am running a XPS/Dimension XPS 720 with nVidiaForce chipset (old bastard, but its still running good on most programs) – have upgraded it to Windows 7, 64-bit… perhaps the nvidia SLI drivers arent quite mature on this platform yet?

I will try to use “260.89″ and wait for WHQL-certified.
Thank you.

Well 3 drivers ago opengl is broken (q3 engine, RTCW, MSI COMBUSTOR) Game starts fine but frame rate drop to half. EVGA 295 gtx, windows xp 32 bits sp3, mb intel dx58so, 3g ddr3 at 1333. MSI KOMBUSTOR and RTCW runs at 121 fps, very bad and sad for a 295gtx. Nhancer doesnt run. Thank you..

Great to see that I can now use Falcon 4 with Windows 7 64 bit and noticed an improvement with FSX and Fs2004
