Nvidia releases GeForce 340.43 driver beta, adds extra SLI, 3D compatibility mode profiles

By Konrad Krawczyk Published June 17, 2014

GPU maker Nvidia has released a new set of GeForce graphics card drivers, though they are currently in beta form at this point in time.

Dubbed GeForce 340.43 beta, this new set of software for graphics cards powered by Nvidias GPUs brings several changes about. GeForce 340.43 beta adds several SLI profiles, including ones for Elder Scrolls: Online, Battlefield: Hardline, and more. SLI is the technology that allows you to run two Nvidia graphics cards in the same PC at the same time.

On top of that, the GeForce 340.43 beta also supports a new “3D Compatibility Mode” for 3D vision, which aims to improve performance in three games in particular. They are Bioshock Infinite: Burial at Sea, Banished, and Krater. A number of bug fixes and other performance improvements were also added in this driver release. You can read the full release notes here.

Though Nvidia says that these beta drivers are “Game Ready,” at the end of the day, they’re still in beta. So if you experience any weirdness or bugs, keep in mind that this isn’t a finished product.

You can download the GeForce 340.43 beta in one of two ways. If you have the Nvidia GeForce Experience control panel installed on your PC, open it up, and click the “Drivers” tab at the top. Then, click the “Check for updates” button on the right hand side, and make sure the “Include beta drivers” check box is selected right below that button.

Alternatively, you can also click the download button on the page here in order to grab the drivers.

Subvocal’s glasses promise to let you talk to your computer in complete silence

Voice dictation is incredibly convenient, but talking to your computer in public can be embarrassing. Subvocal thinks it has a solution.

Subvocal smart glasses use radar to track your mouth movement and convert it to text using AI

Typing has always been a bottleneck between what we think and how quickly we can communicate it to a computer. AI-powered dictation tools like Wispr Flow have made things considerably better. You can practically ramble your way through an entire email, or even an article, and have it transcribed into text in seconds.

But there's a rather awkward problem with talking to your computer. Try doing it in a quiet office, a library, or even your favorite cafe, and more often than not, you tend to attract some attention or end up disturbing others. A startup called The Subvocal Company thinks it has found a solution to this issue. It has developed a pair of smart glasses that promise to turn silent mouth movements into text at over 200 words per minute.
