According to a new article over at Fudzilla, Nvidia's (http://nvidia.com) 180 series or so we think the WHQL release will really increase some shader speeds on the GTX260's 216 shader count to beat out the 4870 leaving ATI (http://ati.com) in the dust once again.
The upcoming 180 driver release from Nvidia allows the Geforce GTX 260 with 216 Shaders to overake the Radeon HD 4870 in top titles like Call of Duty 5, Fallout 3, Far Cry 2, Left for Dead and Dead Space. Nvidia's new driver is set to launch this week and it will also bring some more functionality.
The first benchmarks will be revealed today, while the driver will hit the market shortly after. This is Nvidia's three month plus effort to fight against the sucessfull Radeon HD 4870 from AMD and with a new driver things will start to look good for Nvidia.
This driver will be the right time for Nvidia to relaunch the Geforce GTX 260 with 216 Shaders and try to fight AMD for the performance crown. We should have a few numbers for you shortly, so stay tuned.
