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.
