NVIDIA renames Forceware Driver to GeForce drivers

Generic News 1994 Published by

I don't know if you guys noticed it but apparently NVIDIA has renamed it's drivers. At firstĀ I figured this was an Aprils fools joke, but that does not seem to be the case as more drivers seem to get renamed at NVIDIA's website.

Back on the year 1998 the drivers where called Detonator drivers, 2003 up-to April 2008 ForceWare ... and for now the new name will be "GeForce drivers".

I think this has to do with a more simple naming of the drivers, GeForce drivers. You can't confuse that. Not the entire NVIDIA website has been updated, yet you'll notice that the newer pages will show 'GeForce Release 174 drivers'.
