Note that these were found on NVIDIA's developer zone.

They bring support for OpenGL 4.3.

Source and Download links for both XP and Vista/7 (x86 and x64):

http://www.nvidia.com/content/devzone/opengl-driver-4.3.html

EDIT: Just noticed that this should be moved to the news section...

Btw, they do not seem to work for Windows 8 without any .inf modification.

Any real benefit for using these? Or would we have to wait programs/games to use 4.3? Be nice D:

Unless the game already has OpenGL 4.3 support, you won't see any advantage on that aspect, there could still be other performance enhancements for other things overall however.

Just installed on Windows 8 RTM, they work if you disable signature enforcement, they got rid of the problem I've been having with blurred text in the start menu.

Remember that NVIDIA releases these drivers as "Betas" just so they can make them available ASAP, WHQL certification requires around 2 weeks of testing.

The worst driver in NVIDIA history was WHQL'd FWIW.

Hello guys

I am currently using GeForce 301.42 Driver on gtx 680

Are those GeForce 304.79 Driver or the latest 305.53 Beta Driver safe? How do they impact performance? Worse or better? and most importantly stability.

Thank you.
