Nvidia has released new stable GeForce drivers. The drivers carry version number 411.63 WHQL, are suitable for Windows 7 and above and can be used on maps based on the Kepler architecture or newer. This release includes optimizations for the games Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Forza Horizon 4 and FIFA 19. In addition, support for cards with RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti is added. The changelog also shows bugfixes and a handful of problems that are already known, but for which there is no solution yet. The complete release notes are below:
Provides the optimal gaming experience for
- Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
- Forza Horizon 4,
- FIFA 19
Includes support for NVIDIA GeForce
New Features
- Added support for CUDA 10.0
- NVIDIA RTX Technology
NVIDIA RTX supports the Microsoft DirectX Raytracing (DXR) API on NVIDIA Volta and Turing GPUs.
In order to get started with developing DirectX Raytracing applications accelerated by RTX, you’ll need the following:- NVIDIA Volta or Turing GPU
- Windows 10 RS4
- Microsoft’s DXR developer package, consisting of DXR-enabled D3D runtimes, HLSL compiler, and headers
- Vulkan 1.1
This driver release provides full support for the new Vulkan 1.1 API and passes the Vulkan Conformance Test Suite (CTS) version 1.1.1.2.
Includes interoperability with CUDA 10.0.
New extensions for Turing GPUs:- VK_NVX_raytracing (also available for Pascal GP Us with 8GB or more video memory, and Volta GPUs)
- VK_NV_compute_shader_derivatives
- VK_NV_corner_sampled_image
- VK_NV_fragment_shader_barycentric
- VK_NV_mesh_shader
- VK_NV_representative_fragment_test
- VK_NV_scissor_exclusive
- VK_NV_shader_image_footprint
- VK_NV_shading_rate_image
See https://www.khronos.org/registry/vulkan/ for the full specification.
- Vulkan HDR for Windows
This driver release supports the Vulkan VK_EXT_swapchain_colorspace and VK_EXT_hdr_metadata extensions allowing applications output HDR content to HDR displays via the Vulkan APIs - OpenGL extensions for Turing GPUs
- GL_NV_compute_shader_derivatives
- GL_NV_fragment_shader_barycentric
- GL_NV_mesh_shader
- GL_NV_representative_fragment_test
- GL_NV_scissor_exclusive
- GL_NV_shading_rate_image
- GL_NV_shader_texture_footprint
See for https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenGL/index_gl.php the full specification
- NVIDIA Control Panel
System Info shows Boost Clock values (instead of Base Clock) for Turing and later GPUs.
