NVIDIA has made available a new GeForce Graphics Vulkan Driver, namely driver version 436.59 Beta, which adds HDR10 passthrough presentation format and color space for Windows 10 RS2+.

In addition to that, the current build also improves bounds checking and stability for some content, enhances unused memory reclamation (when running low on system memory for Linux), as well as adds general performance improvements.

When it comes to supported platforms, this new release is suitable for both desktop and notebook configurations powered by Microsoft’s Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 operating systems (either 32- or 64-bit variants). Moreover, the producer has also provided two downloadable files compatible with Linux OSes.

Considering these aspects, do not try applying the available files on other platforms, as this can lead to various malfunctions. Also, make sure your computer’s hardware (the GPU model) is supported by this release.

As for installation, save the package that is designed for your OS, close all programs and processes that might interfere with the upgrade, run the downloaded file, wait as the wizard extracts all files required for the update, and follow all instructions displayed on the screen.

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 isn’t requested automatically by the wizard, however, make sure to carry it out manually so that no problems appear.

That said, download NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Vulkan Driver 436.59 Beta, 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.
