In conjunction with today's launch of Microsoft Windows 8 Release Preview and the opening of the Microsoft Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL) for Windows 8, NVIDIA has received Windows 8 certification for its new R302 graphics drivers.

The new Windows 8 WHQL-certified GeForce R302 drivers will be available for download early next week from GeForce.com. Note that R302 drivers will be Windows 8 only. Other Windows operating systems will continue to use R300 drivers.

NVIDIA's Windows 8 drivers support all the features in the new Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) v1.2. The drivers also support NVIDIA 3D Vision and 3DTV Play products, allowing you to play more than 600 games, watch Blu-ray movies and view photos - all in 3D.
