NVIDIA has just released a new driver belonging to the R470 family (from version 470.xx to 474.xx). The new GeForce 472.12 brings the following changes:
Game Ready for Windows 11
This new Game Ready Driver provides support for the official launch of Windows 11, including a variety of new features and functionality to enhance your gaming and productivity.In addition, this new Game Ready Driver offers support for the latest new titles and updates, including Alan Wake Remastered which utilizes NVIDIA DLSS to boost frame rates by up to 2x at 4K resolution. Additionally, this release always provides optimal support for the latest update to Deathloop which introduces NVIDIA Reflex technology, as well as the launch of Diablo II: Resurrected, Far Cry 6, Hot Wheels Unleashed, Industria, New World, and World War Z: Aftermath.
Fixed Issues
– [Watch Dogs Legion]: Stuttering may occur in the game with ReBAR enabled. [3356008]
– [Battlefield V][DirectX 12]: The game may crash with HDR enabled. [3353767]
– [Redshift3D]: GPU clocks may get stuck at the maximum rate. [3324452]
– [NVIDIA Control Panel]: After overinstalling the driver using express install when GPU scaling is enabled, the 0.59x upscaling factor is missing from the NVIDIA Control Panel scaling resolution list (Display > Change Resolution page). [200765424]
