Όταν πέρασα τους 180.70 και πήγα να τρέξω vantage δεν ξεκινούσε.

Χρειάστηκε να τρέξω το αρχειο:''PhysX_8.10.13_SystemSoftware.exe '' μέσα από τον φάκελο των drivers και το vantage ξεκίνησε κανονικά.

Geforce 185.81 Beta

Nvidia has just released a fresh new beta driver dated April 28th and labeled Geforce 185.81 that once again includes support for our favorite Ambient Occlusion setting.

The drivers also feature the newest PhysX 9.09.0408 WHQL system software and expand GPU hardware acceleration for the Nvidia Video Encoding library to GPUs with less than 32 cores. Applications using this library include CyberLink PowerDirector 7, Nero Move it 1.5, Loilo SuperLoiloScope MARS, and CyberLink MediaShow Espresso. In simpler terms, this means the listed programs should run significantly faster than before.

In Geforce 185.20 beta, the Ambient Occlusion setting could be set to Low, Medium, High and Off. In the last three betas however, only On and Off can be selected. On another note, Nvidia claims the following examples of improvement over official Geforce 182-family drivers:

Up to 11% performance increase in Call of Duty: World at War.

Up to 5% performance increase Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts.

Up to 22% performance increase Crysis: Warhead with antialiasing enabled.

Up to 11% performance increase in Fallout 3 with antialiasing enabled.

Up to 14% performance increase in Far Cry 2.

Up to 45% performance increase in Mirror's Edge with antialiasing enabled.
