    Hi,

    I just downloaded it from Clevo's main site and installed it on my GTX 675M. Clevo listed this driver for GTX 680M yesterday but in the INF it shows the 670M, 675M, 680M and many more are supported. This driver adds Dx11.1 to 600 series and also FXAA.

    thats great, but it only adds dx11.1 to kepler 600 series and systems that use windows 8, also there are no games that use dx11.1 yet so its pointless right now.

    It seems like it is not only the kepler GPU it adds the 11.1 to, but true there are no games that uses 11.1 yet.

    hmm i wonder if that means my 485m would get dx11.1 as well, since the 675m is fermi, and basically a slightly power optimized version of my 485m.

    485M is included in this driver too:

    NVIDIA_DEV.0E31.5102.1558 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 485M"
    NVIDIA_DEV.0E31.7100.1558 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 485M "
    NVIDIA_DEV.0E31.7200.1558 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 485M "

    Maybe you can give it a try :D.

    yes, i edited my post, but im wondering if thats only for the driver and not the card, i will test it in windows 8 to be sure though

    edit: ok in win 8 i ran dx diag, before i installed the driver and it shows dx 11, and after i installed this new driver i will tell you the result for win 8.

    You guys with win8 RP know that 302.80 is out direct from Nvidia, right? Running it on 485M P150HM right now.

    ok so i installed the 302.80 driver in win 8 and it says dx 11.1 in the nvidia control panel, but says dx 11 when i run dxdiag, so unfortunately it doesnt look like it adds support for dx 11.1 to our older cards
