NVIDIA RTX/Quadro Graphics Driver 531.18

NVIDIA RTX Enterprise Production Branch Driver

- Release 530 is a New Feature Branch (NFB) driver.
- NFB drivers provide users the flexibility to try new features made available outside the launch cycle of longer-lived Production Branch drivers.
- NFB drivers are tested for workstation environments and are recommended for early adopter users who need specific features mentioned in the release highlights or release notes.

New Features in Version R530 U1:

- NVIDIA GPUDirect - added Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM)-based support (via Direct3D 12 and Mellanox Network Interface Card) for reading/writing to GPU framebuffer memory
- NVIDIA Quadro Sync II – enhanced support added to enable external synchronization signals to be multiplied/divided by integer values
- NVIDIA RTX Video Super Resolution (VSR) – provides ability to upscale video content viewed through Chromium-based browsers for enjoying higher-quality video
- VSR option will be listed in NVIDIA Control Panel having Ampere generation, or later, GPU architectures
- Updated Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers will only support VSR, provided preferred graphics is NVIDIA processor
- Adds the latest performance improvements, bug fixes, and driver enhancements.

Fixed Issues in Version R530 U1:

- [CUDA][OpenCL]: multiple registrations of the same resource allowed
- [Dassault][3DExperience]: corrupt/dark TextureViews before OpenGL-Vulkan context switch
- [Beamr][CABR]: iteration frames contain errors when PTD=0
- [Derivative][Touchdesigner]: incorrect results with GPU to CPU transfer when multi-GPU Mosaic is active
- [Blender]: building AS with zero-scaled mesh and rotating SRT motion transform hangs indefinitely.

Known Issues in Version R530 U1:

- [HDR]: toggling HDR on/off with non-native screen resolution may cause application crashes.

This release supports the following APIs:

- OpenCL software 3.0
- OpenGL 4.6
- Vulkan 1.3
- DirectX 11
- DirectX 12
- NVIDIA CUDA 12.1
- This driver installs NVIDIA RTX Desktop Manager version 204.16.

About Graphics Drivers:

While installing the graphics driver allows the system to properly recognize the chipset and the card manufacturer, updating the video driver can bring about various changes.

It can improve the overall graphics experience and performance in either games or various engineering software applications, include support for newly developed technologies, add compatibility with newer GPU chipsets, or resolve different problems that might have been encountered.

When it comes to applying this release, the installation steps should be a breeze, as each manufacturer tries to make them as easy as possible so that each user can update the GPU on their own and with minimum risks (however, check to see if this download supports your graphics chipset).

Therefore, get the package (extract it if necessary), run the setup, follow the on-screen instructions for a complete and successful installation, and make sure you reboot the system so that the changes take effect.

That being said, download the driver, apply it on your system, and enjoy your newly updated graphics card. Moreover, check with our website as often as possible in order to stay up to speed with the latest releases.
