Nvidia confirmed that it has the first set of WHQL-certified Windows 8 drivers for its desktop graphics cards available.
The software was released as version 302.82 and has been made available for the Windows 8 Release Preview in 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
According to Nvidia, the driver supports the new Windows 8 display driver model WDDM 1.2 and should not be used on Windows 7 and Windows Vista systems. It's not a flawless driver and the company notes that GT 520 users will see flickering in DirectX applications when launched with FXAA turned on from the Nvidia Control Panel.
