A few moments ago, NVIDIA announced the availability of a new GeForce graphics update, namely version 417.71, which includes support for its GeForce RTX 2060 GPUs, as well as for G-SYNC compatible monitors.

Besides this, the current release also resolves the black screen events encountered when resuming from monitor sleep (some DisplayPort monitors) and the occasional crashes when playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider in DirectX 12 mode.

In addition to that, the producer makes sure BenQ XL2730 monitors work properly at 144Hz refresh rates, fixes GPU clock speed that didn’t drop to idle when three monitors were enabled, and include other changes as highlighted in the Release Notes below.

When it comes to compatibility, NVIDIA has provided several files suitable for the 64-bit variants of Microsoft’s Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 platforms, for both desktop or notebook configurations.

Therefore, save and run the package specially designed for your computer and operating system, wait for all files required to be made available, and follow all instructions displayed for a complete upgrade.

Last but not least, once the upgrade has finished, it would be a good idea to perform a system reboot to allow all changes to take effect properly. If this task is not requested automatically by the wizard, however, make sure to carry it out manually so that no problems appear.

That said, download NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Driver 417.71, apply it on your device, and enjoy your newly-improved system. Also, check back with us as often as possible to stay up to speed with the latest releases.
