This just came out right before the 2010 PGA Championship live streaming in 3D starts. The CD v1.34 contains the new GeForce GPU driver v259.32 beta and NVIDIA 3D Vision driver v259.32 beta. The update adds 3D Vision streaming support for Firefox 4 and Google Chrome web browsers as well as the 3D Vision profiles released in the 1.33 beta driver from few days ago. Lets hope that this driver also fixes the issues that some people had with Silverlight-based 3D Vision streaming when stopping the stream, as well as SLI configurations not being supported…

I’m sure that some of you have had their 3x 120Hz 3D-capable monitors along with two Fermi cards in SLI ready and waiting for some time, but now the driver version 258.69 is finally available with support for the 3D Vision Surround. Now bear in mind that this is a beta driver and there is a GPU driver and a 3D Vision driver version 258.69 and you need both in order to be able to take advantage of the 3D Vision Surround technology supported in them. They are both packed as a 3D Vision Driver CD version 1.31 beta, so it is easier to download the full package all at once, as is has the 32-bit and 64-bit drivers all in one package.

Besides the addition of support for the 3D Vision Surround technology, the new drivers also come with a fix for the problem with the ViewSonic PJD 6531w not being detected by the 3D Vision Setup Wizard. The new driver also adds support for new 3D Vision-ready projectors – Acer X110, Optoma GT360, NEC NP216. There are also two new 3D Vision game profiles for Alpha Protocol and Blur, along with updated profiles for the following games: Order of War, Serious Sam the Second Encounter, World of Warcraft.

Today Nvidia has released a new and updated 3D Vision driver in the form of full CD including the GeForce GPU driver v257.21 and 3D Vision driver v257.21 WHQL versions, not betas as well as making available both drivers separately. The good thing about the full driver CD version 1.29 is that it includes both drivers for the 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems, so you can use it to install 3D Vision on multiple machines with a single download. The new driver adds support for 3D Vision Streaming which will support upcoming 3D Vision enabled streaming video, including actually taking advantage of 3D content streaming like it was demonstrated during Computex with Microsoft’s Silverlight technology. There is also support for GPU accelerated Blu-ray 3D playback when using compatible Blu-ray 3D player software from companies such as CyberLink and Arcsoft (already available in the last beta driver). Also there is support for GeForce GTX 480, GeForce GTX 470, and GeForce GTX 465 as well introduced in the last beta release as well as the support for the new 3D Vision-Ready LCDs: ASUS VG236H, LG W2363D 120 Hz, LG W2363DB 120 Hz (the LG is becoming available already in some countries and the Asus should start appearing probably next month).

The new release 257 driver also comes with new 3D Vision profiles for the following games: Alice in Wonderland, FIFA Online (2010), iRacing Demo, Heaven Benchmark, Mafia II, Lost Planet 2, Sam & Max – Beyond Time and Space, Settlers VII, Split Second, StarCraft II, Stone Giant and Toy Story 3 (most of which already introduced in the 257.15 beta already).
