Nvidia plans to unify desktop, mobile drivers

Less than a year and a half ago, Nvidia offered its first set of mobile graphics drivers to the public in beta form. Users with mobile Nvidia GPUs have since gotten regular updates, but as HotHardware reports, Nvidia is now planning a bolder move: the complete unification of mobile and desktop drivers.

This unification will happen with upcoming release-256 drivers "in a few months." Nvidia will still offer separate downloads for mobile and desktop users, but the same drivers versions will be available on the same dates in both cases. Right now, mobile GeForce driver updates seem to come out at longer intervals than their desktop brethren.
