Nvidia 270.61 WHQL drivers released

This is the first WHQL-certified release from the Release 270 family of drivers (versions 270.xx to 274.xx).

Today NVIDIA posted its first Release 270 WHQL-certified driver for GeForce GPUs, including an equivalent Verde driver for notebook PCs. Version 270.61 is available for download on GeForce.com.
