nForce 15.17 and GeForce 175.16 Driver has been released

Just when i thought that Nvidia aren’t going to release a new driver for nForce based motherboard chipset and for their Geforce 8600 GT (except for using their beta driver) … it seems i was wrong about that because today i just noticed that there’s a new nForce Driver 15.17 for my AMD nForce 590 SLI Chipset and also GeForce Driver 175.16 (although i have to admit i’ve been using this for a while since it’s still in beta stage)

The supported nForce chipsets for the new 15.17 Driver are from nForce4 based chipset until nForce7 based chip

While the 175.16 GeForce Driver supports GeForce product range from GeForce FX, 6, 7, 8, and 9 series GPUs including GeForce 9800 GX2, GeForce 9800 GTX, GeForce 9600 GT, GeForce 9600 GSO, GeForce 8300, GeForce 8200/ nForce 730a, GeForce 8100/NVIDIA nForce 720a

So if your current motherboard chipset is powered by Nvidia nForce and / or your VGA card is powered by GeForce series you should install this right away (make sure to uninstall your previous driver first thought or it’ll cause conflict) :)

Update:

I don’t know what Nvidia thinks when creating the WHQLed version of GeForce Driver 175.16 because the beta version is much better and that’s because the Beta Version (non WHQL-ed) version allows me to choose different resolutions when i choose to output the display into HDTV instead of just 480p, 576p, 720p, and 1080i as shown below (taken from the beta version of 175.16)

Nvidia Beta 175.16 is a lot better

And in the end … i choose to roll back to the Beta Driver 175.16

im sorry for late reply kojiro, btw yes i know about the HDTV downscale but actually using HDTV (despite my hdtv can only go to 1080i) is still better for me because my only 17 inch pc monitor can only go to 1280×1024 resolution :D

well they may let you select different resolutions, but that resolution will be either up scaled or down scaled to match the closest resolution anyway, just like concole games do. Technically HDTVs won’t display resolutions that are non-standard.
