NVIDIA just released a new graphics card driver. The new GeForce 576.88 WHQL driver gives the best performance in the game Mecha BREAK. It also adds support for the new DLSS 4 updates for Diablo IV and Monster Hunter Wilds.
This driver fixes a couple of black screen issues. To be more precise, it fixes the black screen issue when installing drivers on some AMD Ryzen configurations. It also fixes the black screen bug that could occur when switching between 480Hz and 360Hz on Sony SDM-27Q10S monitor.
The NVIDIA GeForce 576.88 WHQL driver also packs a couple of game fixes. For instance, it fixes a bug that could lower the speed of your VRAM when enabling NVIDIA Smooth Motion. It will also fix a freeze issue in Cyberpunk 2077 under certain conditions on some notebooks. And that’s it.
If you’re not planning to play Mecha BREAK, Diablo 4, or Monster Hunter Wilds – and you don’t use NVIDIA Smooth Motion – you can skip this driver. It doesn’t add any big improvements. So, if your current driver is working fine, there’s no need to change it.
On the other hand, if you are interested in updating it, you can go ahead and download the driver from this link. Below, you can also find its complete changelog.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
