在Forceware發布260.89版本後數小時,也就是本文出現的約一小時前,NV又偷偷地放上了新的Forceware,版本號小幅上升,為260.93,為一款Beta驅動。這次主要的改版並不是集中於一般玩家方向的修正,而是為了OpenCL與顯示卡專用編輯程式Parallel Nsight 1.5版鋪路。詳細的內容如下:
__________________________________
New In The Parallel Nsight 1.5 Release
* Support for Visual Studio 2010
The CUDA Debugger works with either Visual Studio 2008 or Visual Studio 2010. Parallel Nsight includes build customizations for Visual Studio 2010 and for versions 3.1 and 3.2 of the CUDA Toolkit. Be aware that to use Parallel Nsight CUDA Toolkit with Visual Studio 2010, you must also have Visual Studio 2008 installed.
* CUDA Toolkit 3.2 RC
The CUDA Debugger supports projects built with the CUDA Toolkit, version 3.2 RC. The directory structure of the CUDA Toolkit created by Parallel Nsight is compatible with the directory structure of the CUDA Toolkit 3.1. Please be aware that upgrading samples from Parallel Nsight 1.0 for use with the CUDA Toolkit 3.2 requires adjustments for build rules and project properties. See the User Guide for more information.
* Tesla Compute Cluster (TCC)
The CUDA Debugger can debug GPUs that use Tesla Compute Cluster (TCC) drivers with the R260 driver.
* The CUDA Debugger supports 6GB GPUs, such as the Quadro 6000.
* The CUDA Memory Checker now supports Fermi-based GPUs.
* The CUDA Debugger supports debugging on the GF104-based GeForce GTX 460 GPU.
* The CUDA Debugger now issues warnings on stack underflow.
* Support for 64 bit pointers and expressions. The debugger now displays 64-bit integers and pointers correctly. Previous releases incorrectly displayed a value stored in memory if the value >= 2^32.
* CUDA Debug Focus
There is a new setting called “Unconditional breakpoints follow focus” for controlling whether the debugger automatically switches all breakpoints to the current focus. When disabled, the debugger will hit breakpoints in all warps that hit a breakpoint. When enabled, only the current focus set via the CUDA Debug Focus will hit the breakpoints.

根據國外論壇討論的狀況看來,安裝此驅動目前沒有明顯的不穩,遊戲方面改變幅度不大,但是修正了一些SLi上的相容性執行問題。如果對WHQL的260.83版本有水土不服狀況的人,以及有興趣的人,不妨可以嘗試服用看看。
