NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Vulkan 1.4 Driver 596.99 Beta 64-bit - Description

New:

- VK_EXT_cooperative_matrix_maintenance1
- Added support for version 6 of the linux-dmabuf protocol in the Wayland WSI

Fixes:

- Fixed shader access to 8-bit constants within a descriptor heap

VulkanSC Driver: ICD Manifest Fixes and PCC Discovery Support:

- Fixed nv-vksc64.json on Windows to no longer include invalid layer definitions
- Fixed the Windows installer to remove the incorrect VulkanSCImplicitLayers registry key
- Add a PCC discovery manifest (nvidia-pcc.json) which enables third-party VulkanSC CMake projects to automatically locate the NVIDIA Pipeline Cache Compiler via the VulkanSCPccDiscovery module without requiring manual configuration
- On Windows this is added to the Windows driver store and includes the associated registry key to enable discovery
- On Linux this is installed to /etc/vulkansc/pcc.d/

Vulkan SC 1.0 Drivers

Both the general release drivers and the developer beta drivers support homepage.

Supported Platforms

- NVIDIA Geforce RTX and NVIDIA RTX on Windows 10/11 and Linux 64-bit
- Full support: Ampere GPU Architecture and above
- Experimental support: Turing GPU Architecture

Vulkan SC SDK

Unlike the Vulkan driver, the Vulkan SC driver does not include the runtime or loader, and so the Vulkan SC SDK must be downloaded and installed separately.

NVIDIA provides full Vulkan 1.4 support and functionality on NVIDIA GeForce and Quadro graphics card with one of the following Ada Lovelace, Ampere, Turing, Volta, Pascal and Maxwell (first and second generation) based GPUs:

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.
