March 3rd, 2009 by Annkur
Nvidia has released drivers for GeForce users running Windows 7 beta. Windows 7 is said to be the first WinOS that would fully integrate and take advantage of the GPU for both graphics and parallel computing.
The new GeForce drivers version 181.71, which come in 32-bit and 64-bit flavors, support the new Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) 1.1 which is a tweaked graphics driver architecture standard for Windows 7 [Source]
Windows 7 has given high hopes to many and the stakes are really high. Apparently Microsoft has been pushing hardware makers to ensure Win7 compatibility early this time to ensure that the Vista story is not repeated with non compatible hardware floating around. Also Microsoft would be eying to replace Xp/Vista with Windows7 ASAP after final release.
