The new features in OpenGL 4 require a Fermi GPU. Thus OpenGL 4 is not supported on NV3x, NV4x, G7x, G8x nor GT2xx hardware. This means you need one of the following NVIDIA graphics accelerators to use OpenGL 4:

• Quadro series: 6000, 600, 5000, 410, 4000, 400, 2000D, 2000
• GeForce 600 series: GTX 690, GTX 680, GTX 670, GT 645, GT 640, GT 630, GT 620, GT 610, 605
• GeForce 500 series: GTX 590, GTX 580, GTX 570, GTX 560 Ti, GTX 560 SE, GTX 560, GTX 555, GTX 550 Ti, GT 545, GT 530, GT 520, 510
• GeForce 400 series: GTX 480, GTX 470, GTX 465, GTX 460 v2, GTX 460 SE v2, GTX 460 SE, GTX 460, GTS 450, GT 440, GT 430, GT 420, 405

Windows driver version 306.63 and Linux drivers version 304.15.00.03 provide beta support for OpenGL 4.3 and GLSL 4.30 on capable hardware.

The new features in OpenGL 3 require G80, or newer hardware. Thus OpenGL 3.0/3.1/3.2/3.3 is not supported on NV3x, NV4x nor G7x hardware. This means you need one of the following NVIDIA graphics accelerators to use OpenGL 3:

Cheers Neil. I am happy with the latest drivers but can see the benefits for others

 

[PorkPieCat]

oh cool, i thought nvidia already had beta support for opengl 4.3 before this

 

[Neil79]

I've played nigh on 3hrs of torchlight 2 and not one issue, also played stronghold kingdoms

So these are recommended

 

[Parabellum]

Anyone tried these drivers with BF3 ?
