Nvidia has released the WHQL-certified GeForce 190.38 drivers which bring several big updates and changes for CUDA, power management, and overclocking/temperature monitoring. This is a WHQL-Certified driver for GeForce 6, 7, 8, 9, 100, and 200-series desktop GPUs and ION GPUs.

  • Adds support for CUDA 2.3 for improved performance in GPU Computing applications. See CUDA Zone for more details.
  • Adds a new user-controlled power management setting for select GeForce 9-series and later graphics cards (cards must already support more than one power state). This option allows users to set a performance level for each DirectX or OpenGL application.
  • Includes several new control panel features and numerous bug fixes. More information can be found in the release documentation.


Existing Support:
  • Supports Microsoft’s new DirectX Compute API on Windows 7.
