14 DAY TRIAL // A few moments ago, NVIDIA has announced the availability of its 348.17 Quadro Graphics drivers, which maintain compatibility with CUDA 7.0, OpenGL 4.5, OpenCL 1.1, and DirectX 11, and include various fixes for Quadro cards.
Specifically speaking, this new update resolves the issue with Houdini that couldn’t access more than 4GB memory (from Quadro K6000’s outstanding 12GB GDDR5), as well as with AutoDesk VRED app’s performance drop on Quadro K5000 SLI configurations.
In addition to that, Hypermesh performance is also increased on Quadro K4200 cards, Mari 2.0 and Nuke 7.0 applications will now be launched on NVIDIA’s GPU, and Quadro 2100M notebook cards will properly display the video chipset used for running 3dsMax 2015.
In other words, this new release adds various performance improvements compared to previous updates (such as NVIDIA Quadro 348.07), including workstation compatibility fixes. Also, it installs the producer’s nView Desktop Manager version 146.33.
As for compatibility, NVIDIA’s drivers are compatible both desktop and notebook configurations powered by Microsoft’s Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 operating systems (either 32- or 64-bit variants).
Additionally, specific packages can also be applied on desktop systems that are running Microsoft’s Windows Vista platforms, or one of the 64-bit variants of Server 2008, 2008 R2, or 2012 R2 OSes.
With this in mind, download NVIDIA Quadro Graphics Driver 348.17, update your graphics chipset, perform a system reboot once completed, and don’t forget to check our website as often as possible in order to stay up to speed with the latest releases.
