nvidia windows 8 update is ready ... go get it

[ezzagood]

no crashes so far with the nvidia windows 8 update
i was getting the same crashes as most on this forum.
it seem to me to be a video driver problem just on the way it was locking up
another strange think i found on installing win 8 is that it change my audio output ie. my front speakers became my back and back my front with no sub woofer or centre .. reinstalled software all good now
so far i am liking windows 8 it has improved handling of my pc . as yet i havent played a game and i will try it soon

Is the release preview the same as the consumer preview? It states it should not be used with the developer preview.

 

[ezzagood]

the release preview and consumer preview are one in the same

Release date: 2012.03.13... that is not the new driver, you just haven't noticed. And yes it makes my system crash too I'm using driver from 4/22/2012 ver.9.18.12.9665 hmm it crashes too sometimes, but not that often ;P

The correct driver for the release preview comes end of the week.
