NVIDIA GeForce Hotfix Driver 595.76 Released to Address Resident Evil Requiem’s Path Tracing Performance Issues

NVIDIA has just released the GeForce Hotfix Driver 595.76 for its graphics cards. According to the green team, this hotfix driver addresses the performance issues in Resident Evil Requiem when using Path Tracing.

For those who did not know, older drivers were offering better performance in Resident Evil Requiem when using Path Tracing. This felt quite bizarre. And yesterday, Sean Pelletier, Director of Game Ready Technology at NVIDIA, informed us about this new hotfix driver.

The NVIDIA GeForce Hotfix Driver 595.76 also fixes the GPU voltage issues some experienced with the latest 595.71 WHQL driver. For some strange reason, that driver capped the GPU voltage, which prevented overclocked GPUs from boosting to expected levels. This new hotfix driver resolves that issue.

It’s also worth noting that Star Citizen will now be more stable with this new hotfix driver. Moreover, the driver fixes a visual issue in Resident Evil Requiem. To be more precise, you will no longer get white glowing light/dots when using Subsurface Scattering. Finally, you will no longer get crashes or driver timeouts when playing multi-key DRM content in a browser on HDCP 1.x monitors.

Those interested can go ahead and download this new driver from this link. Below, you can also find its full changelog.
