NVIDIA Releases GeForce 528.49 Game Ready Drivers

Feb 8th, 2023 09:02 Discuss (22 Comments)

NVIDIA today released the GeForce 528.49 WHQL drivers. These come Game Ready for "Hello Neighbor 2" and "PERISH," including DLSS support for the two. NVIDIA Reflex support is added to "Company of Heroes 3," and "World of Warcraft." The drivers also introduce support for GeForce RTX 40-series "Ada" Laptop GPUs, which are now shipping. Among the handful issues fixed with this release, are a driver-level fix for the Discord app causing GPU memory clocks to fall short of their maximum speed. Resizable BAR support is disabled at a driver-level for "Hitman 3" on Intel platforms (as it's buggy, while NVIDIA works on a fix). Adobe Bridge stability issues noticed in 528.02 drivers have been fixed. Grab the driver from the link below.

I really wish the RTX 4050 laptop was more reasonably priced, like around $899... I still would like a decent laptop since I gave my niece my old gtx 1070 laptop. I am not dropping $2200 on a RTX 4050 laptop though, and that seems to be the cheapest they are coming in at. Fucking hell, industry has lost its damn mind.

Or the setting for enabling AI upscaling on Youtube videos.
Or Game Ready for Returnal.

Hoping for all of the above. I'm taking the 15th off for Returnal on PC. :rockout:

Probably waiting for launch day. The performance is all over the place. Utilization not so much.

btarunrToggling HDR on and off in-game causes game stability issues when non-native resolution is used. [3624030]

Solution: Don't toggle HDR on and off in-game(why would anyone do that?).

btarunrMonitor may briefly flicker on waking from display sleep if DSR/DLDSR is enabled. [3592260]

Solution: Don't let your monitors go into sleep mode.

btarunr[Halo Wars 2] In-game foliage is larger than normal and displays constant flickering [3888343]

That is disappointing..

btarunr[Steam version] Forza Horizon 4 may freeze after 15-30 minutes of gameplay [3866530]

Ok, that's a fail.

Adobe After Effects / Media Encoder - issues with ProRes RAW files [3957455] [3957469]
Adobe Premiere Pro application instability [3940086]

Solution: Don't use Adobe products!

This driver release seems like it should have been polished up a bit more...

Looks like I'm waiting for 530.XX then.

My money is on next Wednesday February 15th for Returnal Game Ready.

I know you're kapping, but many games don't automatically turn on HDR and it's easy to forget to do it yourself. ;)

So Forza Horizon 4 is still not fixed. This is disappointing. I'm wondering if it ever will be.
