NVIDIA has released a new driver for its graphics cards. According to the release notes, the NVIDIA GeForce 537.42 WHQL driver offers optimal performance in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, Warhaven and Witchfire.
Unfortunately, this new driver does not pack any major fixes for other triple-A games. For instance, there is still a significant performance drop on Maxwell-based GPUs in Halo Infinite. Moreover, there aren’t any performance improvements for Starfield.
As always, you can download this driver from here. Below you can also find its complete changelog.
NVIDIA GeForce 537.42 WHQL Driver Release Notes
Game Ready Driver
This new Game Ready Driver provides the best gaming experience for the latest new games supporting DLSS 3.5 technology and DLSS Ray Reconstruction including Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. Further support for new titles leveraging NVIDIA DLSS technology includes the launch of Warhaven and Witchfire which support DLSS 3, as well as the arrival of Party Animals which supports DLSS Super Resolution and NVIDIA Reflex technology.
Fixed Issues
- [Octane Render]: intersection shaders cause slowdown in performance
- [Octane Render]: inconsistent behavior and broken motion keys using TLAS with numKeys=2
Known Issues
- [Halo Infinite] Significant performance drop is observed on Maxwell-based GPUs.
- [DaVinci Resolve] This driver implements a fix for creative application stability issues seen during heavy memory usage. We’ve observed some situations where this fix has resulted in performance degradation when running DaVinci Resolve. This will be addressed in an upcoming driver release.
