14 DAY TRIAL // Just now, NVIDIA has rolled out a new graphics driver compatible with its GeForce and Quadro video cards, namely version 340.65 beta, which provides support for OpenGL 4.5, as well as GLSL 4.50 (only on compatible configurations).
If you intend to apply this release on your system, you should know that the available packages are compatible with both 32- and 64-bit variants of Microsoft’s Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8 platforms. Bear in mind that Microsoft’s latest OS, namely Windows 8.1, isn’t supported by the present update.
In addition to that, your system configuration must include a Fermi, Kepler, or Maxwell-based GPU in order to be able to make use of the OpenGL 4.5 and GLSL 4.50 functionality.
When it comes to the compatible cards, version 340.65 can be applied on NVIDIA’s K-series, along with several other Quadro card models, as well as on the GeForce 400, 500, 600, and 700 series. However, do take a look at the changelog to ensure your card model is supported.
As for installing the driver, simply save and run the proper download for your computer OS and bit architecture, follow the on-screen instructions, and allow the installer to perform a system reboot. If not required, restart the computer manually in order to make sure all changes take effect.
That being said, download NVIDIA Graphics Driver 340.65 Beta with OpenGL 4.5 support, and apply it on your system. Also, constantly check out our website in order to stay “updated one minute ago.”
