NVIDIA Display Drivers R257.15 With OpenGL 4.0 Support

The first version of NVIDIA’s new R256 display driver branch is available. The release note is not available yet but NVIDIA R257.15 brings OpenGL 4.0 for all GTX 400 series (GTX 480 and GTX 470 for the moment). R257.15 is a beta driver and comes with PhysX 9.10.0222 runtimes.

You can download the R257.15 drivers here:

• Win7 / Vista 64-bit
• Win7 / Vista 32-bit
• WinXP 64-bit
