NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Vulkan 1.2 Driver 472.55 Beta for Windows 10 64-bit - Description

New:

- VK_KHR_dynamic_rendering
- Added support for bufferDeviceAddressCaptureReplay [Linux]

Fixes:

- Fixed a regression which prevented DisplayPort and HDMI 2.1 variable refresh rate (VRR) G-SYNC Compatible monitors from functioning correctly in variable refresh rate mode, resulting in issues such as flickering [Linux]
- Optimized the Vulkan fullscreen presentation path for X11 and direct-to-display swapchains [Linux]
- Fixed a compiler bug with Ray Tracing shaders which could cause shader execution timeouts, resulting in device loss

NVIDIA provides full Vulkan 1.2 support and functionality on NVIDIA GeForce and Quadro graphics card with one of the following Turing, Volta, Pascal, Maxwell (first and second generation) and Kepler based GPUs. GPUs from the Turing architecture expose several Vulkan extensions giving developers access to advanced features like ray tracing and mesh shaders.

About Graphics Drivers:

While installing the graphics driver allows the system to properly recognize the chipset and the card manufacturer, updating the video driver can bring about various changes.

It can improve the overall graphics experience and performance in either games or various engineering software applications, include support for newly developed technologies, add compatibility with newer GPU chipsets, or resolve different problems that might have been encountered.

When it comes to applying this release, the installation steps should be a breeze, as each manufacturer tries to make them as easy as possible so that each user can update the GPU on their own and with minimum risks (however, check to see if this download supports your graphics chipset).

Therefore, get the package (extract it if necessary), run the setup, follow the on-screen instructions for a complete and successful installation, and make sure you reboot the system so that the changes take effect.

That being said, download the driver, apply it on your system, and enjoy your newly updated graphics card. Moreover, check with our website as often as possible in order to stay up to speed with the latest releases.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
