Heads up everyone. NVIDIA just released a new driver for its graphics cards; the NVIDIA GeForce 546.17 WHQL Driver. This driver will optimize games using DLSS 3. So, in theory, it should bring improvements to both Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Starfield.
This driver also packs the Alan Wake 2 fix from the last driver. Specifically, it takes care of a problem where performance could drop after playing for an extended period. And not just that – it makes the game more stable too.
Oh, and there’s more. The NVIDIA GeForce 546.17 WHQL Driver takes care of some stability issues in CONTROL. And that’s not all – it makes NVIDIA Reflex work better and boosts performance in Counter-Strike 2. But wait, there’s more – it fixes those annoying stutters in Starfield and Cyberpunk 2077.
Like always, you can download the new NVIDIA driver from this link. I’ve also included below its full list of tweaks, fixes and changes.

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
