NVIDIA has made available a new version of its Quadro graphics driver, namely 456.38, which adds support for the latest NVIDIA Broadcast application that offers noise removal, virtual backgrounds, and auto frame.

In addition to that, the 456.38 build also implements CUDA 11.1 compatibility that adds a new PTX Compiler static library, the 7.1 version of the Parallel thread Execution instruction set architecture (ISA), and hardware accelerated sparse texture support.

Besides these additions, NVIDIA’s release also includes support for read-only mapping for cudaHostRegister, multi-threaded launch to different CUDA streams, CUDA Graphs enhancements,  and many more described in the Release Notes below.

When it comes to compatibility, the current update is targeted at both desktop and notebook configurations that are powered by Microsoft’s Windows 10 platforms, only 64-bit architectures. Also, there are two packages available: one DCH and one Standard file.

With this in mind, if you intend to upgrade, simply save the proper one for your device, run it, wait as the wizard extracts all files required for the installation, and follow all instructions displayed for a complete upgrade.

Last but not least, once completed, it would be a good idea to perform a system reboot to allow all changes to take effect properly. If this task isn’t requested automatically by the wizard, make sure to carry it out manually to avoid any unwanted problems.

In other words, download NVIDIA Quadro Graphics Driver 456.38, apply it to your system and enjoy the changes this new version brings about. Also, check our website constantly to stay up to speed with the latest releases.
