NVIDIA has announced the introduction of its new RTX Production Branch drivers through the latest 460.89 RTX update (or Quadro update), which provides the latest features and improvements for both RTX GPUs and previous generation Quadro GPUs.

As of this 460.89 PB release, NVIDIA has managed to add support for its new RTX A6000 GPU model, CUDA 11.2, V-Ray Benchmark (tests how fast your hardware renders in V-Ray 5), UltraGlow and UltraZap effects in Boris FX Sapphire, and High Dynamic Range (HDR) for tiled displays.

In addition to that, the current update removes bugs that lead to Solidworks 2020 poor drawing performance, Stellar and OptiX rendering performance issues, or incorrect DaVinci Resolve “Media Offline” errors, and includes NVIDIA-SMI capability to modify GPU target temperature.

When it comes to compatibility, the update is suitable for both desktops and notebooks running under the 64-bit variant of Microsoft’s Windows 10 platform, as well as for desktops running Windows Server 2016, 2019, or 2012 R2 64 bit operating systems.

Regarding installation, save the appropriate package compatible with your operating system, run it, and wait for the wizard to extract all files required for the upgrade. Afterward, follow all on-screen instructions for a complete and successful installation.

That said, download NVIDIA Quadro Graphics Driver 460.89, apply it on your computer, perform a restart upon completion, and always check our website to be aware when a newer version is available for download.
