Nvidia releases new beta GeForce drivers for Far Cry 2


ATI has already released their hot fix driver for Radeon owners to run Far Cry 2. Today it's Nvidia's turn to make sure the just released Ubisoft first person shooter runs well on GeForce based PC rigs. The new 180.42 beta drivers are now available to download at Nvidia's web site.

The drivers, available for Windows XP and Vista (32-bit and 64-bit versions) are only for PCs that have Nvidia's GeForce 200, 9 and 8800 based graphics cards installed. There's no word on how much performance improvements you get from these beta drivers but the download site has a note from Ubisoft's Louis-Pierre Pharand saying,"While Far Cry 2 represents an outstanding PC gaming experience for a wide range of systems, GeForce users can expect to enjoy the game quite literally 'The Way It Was Meant To Be Played'."
