NVIDIA has published a new set of graphics drivers for all available GeForce cards (GeForce 6 to latest GTX 600). The main change brought by the R301.24 beta is related to the new features of the GeForce GTX 680: FXAA, Adaptive VSync, and Frame Rate Target. All these new features are now available on all GeForce 8+ and later GPUs. This driver also brings some new SLI and 3D Vision profiles. More information about this release HERE.

R301.24 is based on the r301_07-12 development branch and is an OpenGL 4.2 driver with 294 OpenGL extensions (GL=269 and WGL=25). Compared to R300.99 with a GeForce GTX 580, the GTX 680 supports two new extensions including the famous bindless texture one:
- GL_AMD_seamless_cubemap_per_texture
- GL_NV_bindless_texture

but i want txaa too, is it too much to ask?
I NEED my 680GTX 4GB card to get here now!! I want Bindless textures!!!!
Any info on how bindless textures work?
Is the OpenGL texture count still left at 128 or did they increase that?
I found the spec:
http://developer.download.nvidia.com/opengl/specs/GL_NV_bindless_texture.txt
And a patent:
http://www.google.com/patents/US20110242117
on 560Ti GL_AMD_multi_draw_indirect GL_NV_shader_atomic_float has been added
don’t forget that the gtx 680 supports 3 monitor surround in a single card. previous revs required 2 cards in sli for that
