Nvidia got the Windows 7 WHQL certification for its latest 190.62 drivers, which enable Direct Compute natively within the Windows 7 OS.
The release notes (190.62: XP, 7, Vista) only show that the new drivers offer the latest Physx system software 9.09.08814 for an optimized performance in Batman: Arkham Asylum.
In addition to multimedia content, Windows 7 along with NVIDIA SLI technology will deliver the fastest gaming platform in the world. It will exceed the performance of previous operating systems by up to 14 percent across top gaming titles.
According to the product manager for software at NVIDIA the Windows 7 allows for a marriage between the CPU and the GPU for the creation of a co-processing environment.
“What makes this co-processing possible is one of the most significant additions Windows 7 brings: DirectCompute. DirectCompute enables applications in Windows 7 to take advantage of GPU Computing to accelerate applications. DirectCompute will be distributed as part of the DirectX 11 API and is fully supported by NVIDIA’s current lineup of DirectX 10 GPUs. Murray Vince, General Manager of the OEM Division at Microsoft was at Computex to discuss the new DirectCompute API in Windows 7,” Daniel explained.
