Nvidia has released the official WHQL version of the Forceware 181.22 driver for Windows XP and Vista. These drivers are for the GeForce 6, 7, 8, 9 and 200 series, are designed for use with Mirror's Edge, and include the 9.09.0010 PhysX drivers. Except for the WHQL certification they should be identical to the Beta 181.22 drivers released earlier this week.

Nvidia has released the Official Forceware 182.06 driver for Windows XP and Vista. These WHQL certified drivers are for the GeForce 6, 7, 8, 9 and 200 series, and are designed specifically for use with F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin. However they also have performance improvements in other games including Fallout 3, Half Life 2, Left 4 Dead and GRID vs. the 181.22 WHQL drivers. The package includes the 9.09.0203 PhysX drivers. Note that this driver appears identical to the earlier 182.05 Beta, with the exception of a single bug fix for the GeForce 9 and 8 series under Windows 32-bit.

They are identical to the recently released Official 182.08 WHQL certified drivers, the only change is the addition of an SLI profile for Tom Clancy's HAWX under DirectX 10.

Back on new years day, an interesting set of Geforce drivers showed up labeled 185.20 beta, which included a rendering feature called Ambient Occlusion. However, the feature was highly unoptimized and for the most part, noticeably unready for an official driver set.

Today, a new beta driver showed up on the internets labeled Geforce 185.63 and dated March 27th. This release reinstates the Ambient Occlusion feature, although to a more limited extent. In 185.20 beta, the setting could be set to Link Removed due to 404 Error, Link Removed due to 404 Error, Link Removed due to 404 Error and Link Removed due to 404 Error. In the more refined 185.63, only On and Off can be selected.

Nevertheless, the new drivers are bundled with PhysX 9.09.0203 WHQL system software and include support for Nvidia's Geforce 8, 9, and GTX 200 series desktop GPUs, as well as the newly released Geforce GTX 275.

The drivers are currently only available for Windows Vista 32-bit but will work with Windows 7 32-bit beta builds as well.
