00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:05.839
so I thought I'd take a moment to talk about NVIDIA's new series of Graphics

00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:12.920
drivers you can see it says here it's version 26.5 2 this is actually a Beta

00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:14.360
release but the new series is the 260

00:00:12.920 --> 00:00:17.800
series they've made a whole bunch of changes so you can see the initial

00:00:16.279 --> 00:00:23.560
installation screen is actually completely different so you go ahead and

00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:26.039
click install you've got some options

00:00:23.560 --> 00:00:29.119
here's custom so you can actually uh choose which aspects you want to install

00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:33.440
it used to be that you had to install your 3D visionri driver separately now

00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:37.360
it's actually included in the uh in the GeForce graphics driver so you can just

00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:40.480
say okay I don't want an HD audio driver oh and this is interesting I'll talk a

00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:45.640
little bit more about this after uh physx 3D Vision you can actually use

00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:49.879
this option to perform a clean install so it'll just remove everything else

00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:54.079
that you previously had on your system and then reinstall this over top in a

00:00:51.879 --> 00:00:59.000
way that should uh really reduce uh interference from old graphics driver

00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:02.680
revisions so that's a pretty cool feature let's click next so it'll go

00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:06.799
ahead and install that removing all the old stuff and then it'll install the new

00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:10.280
stuff so there's like few big changes first of all it adds supports for

00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:15.119
support add supports add support for the GTS 450 which you can see is here on my

00:01:12.320 --> 00:01:21.560
test bench GTS 450 there it is if the camera will ever

00:01:17.880 --> 00:01:23.200
focus and oh it's a beta so it comes up

00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:26.920
with that warning and they've also improved performance on a lot of the

00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:30.920
GeForce 400 series cards and a ton of games you can I mean you can check out

00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:36.799
this page on NVIDIA.com if you want this is one of the coolest ones though it

00:01:32.360 --> 00:01:40.040
actually adds HD audio output via HDMI

00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:43.439
to some gpus so you can see the fullest

00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:45.200
here and upgrades the HD audio driver so

00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:48.799
that's a neat feature that NVIDIA didn't have full support for in the past it

00:01:47.600 --> 00:01:55.200
also supports playing back Blu-ray 3D discs

00:01:51.399 --> 00:01:57.880
when connected to an HDMI 1.4 3D TV that

00:01:55.200 --> 00:02:02.159
is also very cool all right we've already kind of covered this they

00:01:59.240 --> 00:02:05.520
changed the around setup so that means the uh the guide I did a while back

00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:08.840
won't be valid anymore but hopefully all they've done is make it easier so I

00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:12.000
don't have to do a new guide added some more 3D Vision ready

00:02:13.040 --> 00:02:19.280
displays and some more 3D

00:02:16.200 --> 00:02:20.560
profiles upgraded the physx software and

00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:25.160
I think that's most of the interesting stuff is just the audio bits here so I'm

00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:30.400
just going to move so you can read that if you don't feel like visiting NVIDIA.com as well as the improvements

00:02:29.239 --> 00:02:35.319
to game performance so let's see if that's done

00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:39.400
installing yep it's done installing so I'm going to go ahead and restart the

00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:42.760
system and then I'll be back with uh my

00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:44.519
acoustic and noise acoustic and noise

00:02:42.760 --> 00:02:48.400
acoustic and cooling performance of the reference cooler versus the Cyclone

00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:54.560
cooler so that's a separate video I'm working on right now and I just had to install the drivers to uh get that

00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.560
running
