NVIDIA has provided a new GeForce graphics release, namely version 497.29, which ensures an optimal gaming experience for titles such as GTFO and the latest update for Horizon Zero Dawn (performance improved by up to 50% with NVIDIA DLSS).

In addition to that, this update fixes the performance drops occuring when there is mouse movement in Supreme Command: Forged Alliance/Supreme Commander 2, the purple and blue artifacts seen on ground textures when playing Microsoft Flight Simulator, as well as the crash events encountered in the same game.

Regarding supported platforms, this new release is suitable for both desktop and notebook configurations powered by a 64-bit variant of Microsoft Windows 10 and 11 platforms. Also, be sure to check the supported GPU list highlighted in the Release Notes below.

In terms of installation, first of all, save the appropriate package suitable for your system configuration, close all programs and processes that might interfere with the upgrade, run the downloaded executable, and wait for all files required for the installation to be extracted.

Afterward, follow all instructions displayed on-screen for a complete and successful installation, and make sure to perform a system reboot to allow all changes to take effect properly. If this task isn’t requested automatically by the wizard, it would be a good idea to carry it out manually.

That said, download NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Driver 497.29, apply it to 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.
