TITLE: NVIDIA Quadro Professional Driver (x64) VERSION: 91.63 Rev. B DESCRIPTION: This package contains the NVIDIA graphics driver for the listed workstation models and operating systems. NOTE: Because one enhancement was inadvertently left out of the driver provided in HP SoftPaq Number SP34303, an updated driver is being provided in this SoftPaq. NOTE: The NVIDIA Multiview Multiple-Monitor Display mode will no longer be supported. PURPOSE: Recommended SOFTPAQ NUMBER: SP34541 SUPERSEDES: SP34303 EFFECTIVE DATE: January 15, 2007 CATEGORY: Driver - Graphics - Nvidia SSM SUPPORTED: No PRODUCT TYPE(S): Workstations HARDWARE PRODUCT MODEL(S): HP xw4200 Workstation: All Models HP xw4300 Workstation: All Models HP xw4400 Workstation: All Models HP xw6200 Workstation: All Models HP xw6400 Workstation: All Models HP xw8200 Workstation: All Models HP xw8400 Workstation: All Models HP xw9300 Workstation: All Models HP xw9400 Workstation: All Models SOFTWARE PRODUCT(S): None DEVICES SUPPORTED: NVIDIA Quadro FX 1300 NVIDIA Quadro FX 1400 NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500 NVIDIA Quadro FX 330 NVIDIA Quadro FX 3400 NVIDIA Quadro FX 3450 NVIDIA Quadro FX 3500 NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 NVIDIA Quadro FX 540 NVIDIA Quadro FX 5500 NVIDIA Quadro FX 560 NVIDIA Quadro NVS 200 AGP NVIDIA Quadro NVS 200 PCI NVIDIA Quadro NVS 280 AGP NVIDIA Quadro NVS 280 PCI NVIDIA Quadro NVS 280 PCI-E NVIDIA Quadro NVS 285 NVIDIA Quadro NVS 285 128MB NVIDIA Quadro NVS 400 PCI NVIDIA Quadro NVS 440 OPERATING SYSTEM(S): Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition LANGUAGE(S): Global ENHANCEMENTS: - Adds support for the NVIDIA Quadro FX 5500 Video Card. - Makes full-scene anti-aliasing (FSAA), Desktop Edge Blending, and Desktop Overlay settings available for NVIDIA Quadro FX 5500 Video Cards. - Adds a profile for Unisys CAD applications. - Improves performance and memory management for I-DEAS. - Improves OpenGL performance in Extended Desktop (Dualview) Display mode. - Increases the maximum size of an accelerated OpenGL window from 4096 x 4096 pixels to 32768 x 32768 pixels. - Enables frame synchronization status to be queried through the NVIDIA Control Panel application programming interface (API). FIXES: - Fixes an intermittent non-maskable interrupt (NMI) memory parity error that may occur during Windows startup on the HP Workstation xw4300 if the /3gb boot option is used. - Fixes an intermittent "blue-screen" system crash (stop error 0xEA) that may occur while playing streaming video in Microsoft Windows Media Player 9.0. - Fixes an intermittent "blue-screen" system crash (stop error 0xA) that may occur when resuming from Standby mode on workstations with two NVIDIA Quadro NVS 285 Video Cards installed. - Fixes missing images or a spontaneous system reboot that may occur when using many very large textures. - Fixes an application crash in Unigraphics NX4 when real-time rendering and shadows are used together. - Fixes an issue, which may occur while running multiple OpenGL applications simultaneously on Scalable Link Interconnect (SLI) configurations, where the workstation stops responding (hangs) or generates an intermittent stop error. - Fixes severe flashing that may occur on SLI configurations that are executing a non-stereo OpenGL application immediately after using a stereo OpenGL application. - Fixes slow OpenGL performance that may occur after starting an OpenGL stereo application 5 to 10 times. - Fixes very slow performance that may occur when using two NVIDIA Quadro FX 5500 Video Cards and four displays on HP xw8400 Workstations.
