<p><p>
NVIDIA has posted a new beta driver from their 304 family of drivers, version number 304.79.</p>
<p>
The biggest change with 304.79 is that NVIDIA has officially unified their Windows 8 and Win7/Vista drivers into a single driver, which means Windows 8 is now on the same driver update schedule as the rest of the Windows 6.x family. This driver also enables official support for NVIDIA's new TXAA anti-aliasing mode (though no games currently support it), and fixes several issues including a hardware cursor issue that was prevelent in several MMOs.</p>
<p>
<strong>New in 304.79 Drivers:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Adds support for NVIDIA TXAA</strong>
<ul>
<li>
NVIDIA TXAA is new film-style anti-aliasing technique designed specifically to reduce temporal aliasing (crawling and flickering in motion) through a combination of hardware AA, custom CG film style AA resolve, and a temporal filter.</li>
<li>
The Secret World is the first game to support TXAA (support will be enabled in an upcoming patch)..</li>
<li>
TXAA is supported on GeForce GTX 600-series Kepler-based GPUs.</li>
<li>
Learn more about TXAA on GeForce.com.</li>

<em>Tornado Force - added</em></li>

<em>Tribes: Ascend - updated</em></li>

<p>
<strong>Key Fixes</strong></p>
