NVidia didn’t waste any time getting drivers out for the Windows 7 Beta.

GeForce version 181.71 graphics drivers, released today on NVIDIA.com, support the new Windows Display Driver Model WDDM v1.1 from Microsoft. Powered by NVIDIA DirectX 10 GPUs, WDDM v1.1 drivers provide an optimal visual experience in Windows 7. These drivers offer increased performance and reliability in both 2D and 3D applications, including the 3D Windows Aero desktop.

Downloads & License keys for Windows7 have stopped, so it’s uncertain how well-tested these drivers will be when Windows7 becomes official. Still, it’s great to see them getting the drivers out in the public so early.
