NVIDIA have released a new driver which they are encouraging users to install in order to give them the best experience with Grand Theft Auto IV. The new GeForce v180.84 driver can be downloaded at nZone:

• Download GeForce Driver 180.84 (Win XP 64-bit)
• Download GeForce Driver 180.84 (Vista)

Please note however that the driver is still beta, and has not yet passed Microsoft testing and approval, and should therefore be used at your own risk.
