Final ThoughtsThe release notes for the Nvidia Forceware 280.26 drivers looked promising but mainly see some new features in terms of 3D Vision support and doesn’t really seem to focus on game improvements or fixes in games which is where we believe, matters the most.
Our gaming and benchmark tests put the drivers into action but sadly saw no real performance increase in any of the tests, apart from a VERY slight change with 3DMark Vantage.
Being the first Forceware analysis, we were hoping for a lot more, but it just seems that Nvidia had a different target audience when they released these drivers and it most certainly wasn’t to have game performance increases in mind, much to our sadness.
Getting to the bottom of it, we can’t see why you would need to update your drivers to 280.26 unless you are using 3D Vision and need the extra game support that’s on offer from it. If you a typical gamer much like myself, you’ll find no real benefit between the drivers.
