    Its is released for 680m card but its perfectly compatible with 675m as well.

    Tested and working zippy! I think its better than using the beta driver from Nvidia.

    But does our 675m card support for TXAA being a Fermi Card originally?

    widezu - assuming the rig in your signature is correct, the 675m is just a nvidia rebrand with higher clocks of the 580m fermi card. no kepler

    the 660m is kepler.. but midrange performance

    and then the 680m.. the ONLY upgrade offered by dell that i don't mind spending a little extra for... :D

    Both have the same clocks, the 675M is just a rebrand, nothing more.
