Along with releasing a trifecta of new graphics cards that target the mid-range, low-end and high-end markets, Nvidia has also released a new version of its GeForce graphics drivers. Nvidia’s latest driver release brings the version number of their GeForce drivers to 334.89.

The newest version of Nvidia’s GeForce drivers bring about a few changes. For example, PhysX acceleration is available on systems equipped with GeForce 8-series and later GPUs. Multiple new SLI profiles have been created as well. Nvidia is also claiming a performance boost of up to 19 percent in their GeForce 400/500/600/700 series graphics cards in certain PC games. Of course, this driver update also brings about support for Nvidia’s three new graphics cards; the high-end Titan Black, mid-range 750 Ti, and low-end 750.

On top of adding new sets of functionality to supported graphics cards, Nvidia also fixed some past issues. For instance, up until the release of driver version 334.89, users whose systems are equipped with dual GeForce GTX 460 cards were unable to see any option in the Nvidia Control Panel to enable SLI mode. That’s been fixed with this new driver update. Also, on systems equipped with GeForce 9600M graphics, some users experienced an issue that prevented them from adjusting the brightness of their monitor. That bug has been squashed as well. On certain systems running three or four Nvidia graphics cards in SLI mode, using the company’s ShadowPlay software caused certain games to crash. That shouldn’t happen any longer if you update your drivers to version 334.89.

Even Nvidia’s partners don’t believe in the new RTX 4060 Ti
RTX 4060 Ti sitting on a pink background.

Nvidia's RTX 4060 Ti 16GB is reportedly just days away from launch, but rumor has it that there may not be a lot of GPUs to choose from. This isn't a sign of another dreadful GPU shortage, though. It's more that the RTX 4060 Ti has very little chance to rank high among the best graphics cards you can buy.

We've just recently seen the release of the RTX 4060, but Nvidia still has another card up its sleeve -- a clone of the existing RTX 4060 Ti that comes equipped with twice the VRAM. However, due to certain factors, the GPU might be doomed to a life of subpar sales and unsatisfying benchmark results.

This mysterious Nvidia GPU is an absolute monstrosity — and we just got another look
Two Nvidia GPUs side by side.

The beast is back. Several new photos of what appears to be a quad-slot Nvidia GPU emerged today, revealing a monstrous prototype that's still yet to receive a name. In this iteration, it's more of a cooler than a GPU, as it doesn't appear to have a PCB.

Today's leak brings a lot of questions about what could one day be Nvidia's best GPU ever. Is Nvidia really working on a Titan GPU, or is this the RTX 4090 Ti?

Nvidia’s RTX 4060 might not be such a disappointment after all

Nvidia's RTX 4060 is right around the corner, so it's really no surprise that the first benchmarks are already starting to leak out. Today, two tests have been spotted, and they bode pretty well for the GPU. The RTX 3060, which is still a favorite among Nvidia users, might be around 20% slower than the upcoming Ada Lovelace model.

Will the RTX 4060 become one of the best GPUs, or at least one of the most popular models in this generation?
