Last month, NVIDIA released its latest driver for its graphics cards, the NVIDIA GeForce 610.47 driver. That driver also added some settings for DLSS 5, though there is currently no way to enable it. However, it appears that this driver has also introduced some annoying bugs and issues.
Let’s start with the most important one. From the looks of it, the NVIDIA GeForce 610.47 driver brings stutters on owners of G-Sync monitors. According to reports, when you enable G-Sync, you get an extremely unstable framerate with stutters.
The good news is that there’s a workaround for this issue. The downside is that it requires completely disabling G-Sync. As a result, G-Sync users currently have two options: they can either roll back to the previous driver or continue using the latest driver with G-Sync turned off.
The other bug that was introduced with the NVIDIA GeForce 610.47 driver is related to Smooth Motion. According to numerous reports, NVIDIA users are crashing to the desktop as soon as they enable Smooth Motion in multiple games. This is particularly disappointing for those who relied on Smooth Motion to improve performance and smoothness in games that do not support DLSS 4 Frame Generation.
NVIDIA’s Manuel has confirmed these two issues. According to him, both of them will be fixed in the next driver. Sadly, though, we don’t have any ETA for when it will come out.
As I’ve said many times before, it’s not always a good idea to upgrade to the latest GPU driver as soon as it becomes available. We’ve seen numerous issues emerge with newly released drivers. In my opinion, if a user isn’t experiencing any problems with their current driver, they should stick with it. Even if they decide to update, it’s often safer to choose a driver version that’s one or two releases behind the latest, unless those older drivers are known to have major issues of their own.
