Everyone wants their graphics card to support the latest-and-greatest titles as soon as they're released, which is why both AMD and Nvidia are making at-launch compatibility a priority with their driver development. To that end, after the red team released its newest driver yesterday, the green team released its own driver with a grab bag of improvements and bug fixes.
GeForce Driver 391.35’s big change is bringing baseline compatibility and improved performance for Far Cry 5, which was released today. Other gaming-related changes include added SLI profiles for GRIP and WRC 7 and a fix for Diablo IIIrunning on SLI systems. As for Nvidia’s driver-related features, 391.35 fixes a memory leak in Freestyle, the company’s game post-processing feature, and resolves a serious-sounding situation for notebook GPUs wherein which the driver “may fail to initialize the GPU.” The new driver also comes with a list of security fixes, which are listed in the full change notes.
