    [​IMG]Since probably quite a number of our readers use systems other than MS Windows, which largely means Linux or FreeBSD, here's some information you might find relevant in your gaming pursuits, namely the features of a new driver for GeForce 8 from nVidia:

    · Improved power management support with GeForce 8 GPUs.
    · Further improved stability on some GeForce 8 GPUs.
    · Fixed a bug that broke certain TwinView configurations with TV-OUT on GeForce 8 GPUs.
    · Fixed a bug that could cause OpenGL to crash in certain cases, e.g. when running Counter-Strike under Wine.
    · Further improved GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap out-of-memory handling.
    · Fixed a bug that could result in incorrect PowerMizer state being reported.
    · Improved nvidia-xconfig behavior when updating X configuration files without a "Module" section.
    · Worked around a problem that caused function key presses on some Toshiba notebooks to result in system crashes.

    Read the rest at Softpedia.
