What is included in the NVIDIA Game Ready Driver 566.03 release?
This driver update offers the optimal gaming experience for new titles that incorporate DLSS 3. These games include highly anticipated releases like Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Alan Wake 2: The Lake House, Call of Duty®: Black Ops 6, Horizon Zero Dawn™ Remastered, No More Room In Hell 2, Red Dead Redemption, and The Axis Unseen.
What issues does this driver fix?
The 566.03 driver specifically addresses the issue where custom Digital Vibrance settings would not save after a system reboot or wake from sleep mode.
Are there any known issues with driver 566.03?
Yes, there are a few. Bluestacks and Corsair iCUE software may exhibit higher CPU usage than usual. There are also open issues reported on the GeForce forum that include potential bugchecks with Maxwell GPUs, DSR/DLDSR custom resolutions not appearing in some games, and shader cache files being generated even when the setting is disabled.
What is the recommended course of action if I experience issues after upgrading to a new driver?
The general consensus is to wait a few days after a new driver release to see if any widespread issues are reported. However, it's important to note that people without issues are less likely to post, so the absence of negative feedback doesn't guarantee a smooth experience. If you choose to upgrade and encounter problems, you can always use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to revert to a previous driver version.
Why are my colors washed out after a driver update?
This is a common issue. Go to the Nvidia Control Panel, select "Change Resolution," scroll to the bottom, and change the "Output Dynamic Range" setting to "FULL."
What can I do if my game stutters during physics calculations?
This can often be resolved in the Nvidia Control Panel. Navigate to the "Surround and PhysX settings" and make sure the PhysX processor is set to your GPU instead of the CPU.
What is the purpose of the new "Optimal Power" setting in Power Management Mode?
"Optimal Power" aims to further reduce power consumption when your system is idle. The driver achieves this by reusing previously rendered frames directly from the framebuffer instead of forcing the GPU to render a new frame when nothing on the screen is changing.
Is there a fix for G-Sync and Reflex not engaging in borderless fullscreen mode on Windows 24H2?
Yes, a user reported that having any secondary displays connected to the integrated GPU (iGPU) caused issues with G-Sync and Reflex in borderless fullscreen mode. Disconnecting the secondary displays resolved the issue.
