Stardock and NVIDIA have announced a special Impulse ‘NVIDIA Edition” which will be specially branded for NVIDIA users.  Gamers will be able to be informed of video card driver updates and install them via Stardock’s Impulse.  Users will also use Impulse to see the latest gaming news and purchase and download PC games straight from Impulse.

"The single biggest issue preventing PC gamers today from having an optimal experience is a failure to update their video card drivers," said Brad Wardell, CEO and president of Stardock. "For many users, updating video drivers has been a complicated and sometimes confusing experience. As PC game developers ourselves, we recognized those concerns and, in partnership with NVIDIA, have taken a step to make the process more accessible."

AMD branding has been out for a while. You can see an AMD animation in the opening vids of demigod also.

that'll be nifty.

any word on compatibility? i.e. if i install this will all my settings be saved?

Nice.  Thanks!

I can't notice what is different yet, aside from the logo change. It isn't informing me of the new available driver. 

The old nvidia button from the community tab is there, but that just takes me to the standard nvidia driver page that is on the nvidia website, which sends me external to my web browser.

I guess it isn't ready yet but nice to have the nvidia edition ready to go.

The diffenrece is its supposed to check our nVidia driver and update it automatically if necessary.

Its all mention in the press release. Did anybody read it???

Right Wagnard, except it isn't doing it yet.

Logo design is really bad.

on Sep 02, 2009

Well I suppose it's a good deal for those with Nvidia cards.  It's just too bad they're a bunch of f***sticks who not only refuse to build their cards so that they'll be compatible with older games, but also don't offer any sort of support for those who have problems with them.
