### Release Highlights
With Release 260 drivers, the installation process for 3D Vision has changed. This driver is for the 3D Vision IR emitter, either the USB emitter or built-in notebook emitter. If you are using 3D Vision, you need to install the GeForce Release 260 graphics driver which now contains 3D Vision core driver features.
