Game Ready
- Outriders
- DiRT 5 raytracing
- Evil Genius 2: World Domination
- Kingdom Hearts
Gaming Technology
- Includes support for Resizable BAR across the GeForce RTX 30 Series of Desktop and Notebook GPUs
- Includes beta support for virtualization on GeForce GPUs
Application Profiles
- Shenmue III (NVIDIA Turing GPUs only)
- The Medium (NVIDIA Turing GPUs only)
Other Changes
- Added support for extended DP-to-HDMI 2.1 PCON clock frequency range to better support 8K TVs.
- Changed the G-SYNC on-screen status indicator to be less obtrusive.
OpenCL 3.0
- Added support for OpenCL 3.02, the latest major version of OpenCL maintaining backward compatibility with OpenCL 1.2. NVIDIA OpenCL 3.0 continues to support existing OpenCL 1.2 functionality as well as Khronos and vendor extensions that are already supported with NVIDIA OpenCL 1.2 drivers.
- The following new features beyond existing NVIDIA OpenCL 1.2 features are supported by NVIDIA OpenCL 3.0
- RGBA vector component naming in OpenCL C kernels
- pragma_unroll hint
- opencl_3d_image_writes
- clCreate*WithProperties APIs which can be used as replacement for existing
clCreateBuffer/Image APIs.
- clSetContextDestructorCallback
- clCloneKernel from OpenCL 2.1
- clEnqueueSVMMigrateMem from OpenCL 2.1
- Incorporates the following experimental 2.0 features:
- Device side enqueue
- The current implementation is limited to 64-bit platforms only.
- OpenCL 2.0 allows kernels to be enqueued with global_work_size larger than the
compute capability of the NVIDIA GPU. The current implementation supports only
combinations of global_work_size and local_work_size that are within the compute capability of the NVIDIA GPU.
For a given grid dimension, the global_work_size can be determined by CUDA grid size x CUDA block size.
For executing kernels (whether from the host or the device), OpenCL 2.0 supports nonuniform ND-ranges where global_work_size does not need to be divisible by the local_work_size. This capability is not yet supported in the NVIDIA driver, and therefore not supported for device side kernel enqueues.
- Shared virtual memory
- The current implementation of shared virtual memory is limited to 64-bit platforms
only.
- OpenCL 3.0 Known Issues
- Device-Side-Enqueue related queries may return 0 values, although corresponding built-ins can be safely used by kernel.
This is in accordance with conformance requirements described at https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenCL/specs/3.0-unified/html/OpenCL_API.html#opencl-3.0-backwardscompatibility
- The denorms that were flushed to zero by default when cl-fast-relaxed-math on OpenCL 1.2 drivers won't be flushed to zero with OpenCL 3.0 driver by default.

Game Ready for Wolfenstein: Youngblood with Ray Tracing
The new Game Ready Driver provides the latest performance optimizations, profiles, and bug fixes for Wolfenstein: Youngblood including the introduction of ray tracing. In addition, this release also provides optimal support for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, Bright Memory: Infinite, and the latest version of Quake II RTX.
Maximum Framerate
In response to overwhelming demand from the community, we have introduced a new Maximum Framerate Setting into the NVIDIA Control Panel. Use the maximum frame rate setting to set the max framerate a 3D application or game can render. This feature is particularly helpful when trying to save power, reduce system latency or paired with your NVIDIA G-SYNC display to stay within variable refresh rate range.
Image Sharpening Improvements
Leveraging gamer feedback over the last few months, we have been continually improving the new image sharpening feature. With this latest version, you have the ability to toggle GPU scaling independent of whether image sharpening is enabled or disabled.
Variable Rate Super Sampling
We introduced a new VRSS feature…
Variable Rate Super Sampling (VRSS) is a new technique to improve image quality in VR games which uses NVIDIA Variable Rate Shading (VRS) to dynamically apply up to 8x super sampling to the center of the VR display when GPU headroom is available. In doing so, VRSS can improve image quality at the focal point of the eye while always maintaining the 90 FPS needed to deliver a smooth VR experience.
Share Freestyle Filters
Gamers can now import and export Freestyle/Ansel filters and take advantage of a new split screen filter to help showcase their improvements!
New Features and Other Changes
- Added Max Frame Rate control to the NVIDIA Control Panel ->Manage 3D Settings page.: Lets you set the maximum 3D game or application frame rate that the GPU will render.
- Updated Image Sharpening controls in the NVIDIA Control Panel->Manage 3D Settings page: Image Sharpening and GPU Upscaling can now be enabled separately.
- Custom display modes are available when GPU Upscaling is enabled.
- Added Virtual Reality - Variable Rate Super Sampling (VRSS) setting to the NVIDIA Control Panel ->Manage 3D Settings page.
- VRSS improves image quality by applying super sampling selectively on the central region of a frame.This feature is available for VR applications profiled for VRSS.

- Scaling is not supported on MSHybrid systems.
- Vulkan / OpenGL applications are currently not supported for sharpening
- HDR displays driven by pre-Turing GPUs will not support scaling
- Scaling will not work with VR
- Scaling will not work with displays using YUV420 format.
- Scaling uses aspect ration scaling and will not use integer scaling
- Sharpening will not work with HDR displays
- GPU scaling engages when games are played only in full-screen mode, and not in windowed or borderless windowed mode.
- Some monitors, such as R2 and R3 monitors, have a 6-tap/64-phase scaler which scales better than that offered by Turing's 5-tap/32-phase scaler.
- To avoid accidentally triggering scaling by applications or DWM, first change to the desired (<native) resolution from the NVIDIA Control Panel and then launch the application
- Turing's 5-tap upscaler may not engage on certain monitors, based on the monitor's vblank timing.
- Turing's 5-tap upscaler may not engage if the input resolution is greater than 2560px in either the x or y dimension.
- Scaling is turned off automatically when switching display devices.
- "Restore Defaults" option in the control panel currently does not revert the upscaling resolution.

Driver Security - Restricting Access to GPU Performance Counters
The NVIDIA graphics driver contains a vulnerability (CVE-2018-6260) that may allow
access to application data processed on the GPU through a side channel exposed by the
GPU performance counters. GPU performance counters are needed by developers in
order to use NVIDIA developer tools such as CUPTI, Nsight Graphics, and Nsight
Compute. In order to address CVE-2018-6260 the driver needs to be updated and
additional steps listed below are needed to disable access to non-admin users. For more
information about CVE-2018-6260 visit the NVIDIA Security Bulletin 4772.
Access to GPU performance counters should be disabled for non-admin users who do
not need to use NVIDIA developer tools.
Restricting access to GPU performance counters can be accomplished through the
NVIDIA Control Panel->Developer->Manage GPU Performance Counters page (NV Control
Panel v8.1.950). Refer to the Developer->Manage GPU Performance Counters section of the
NVIDIA Control Panel Help for instructions.

Vulkan 1.1
This driver release provides full support for the new Vulkan 1.1 API and passes the Vulkan Conformance Test Suite (CTS) version 1.1.0.3.
HD Audio
This driver adds new sample rates 32 kHz, 88.2 kHz, and 176.4 kHz to the HDMI device for all GPUs
Display Driver Standalone Installer
The standalone display driver installer now removes extracted files after installing the driver, leaving a smaller footprint on the hard drive.
Display Driver Libraries
Added new libraries (nvdlist.dll and nvdlistx.dll) to support Optimus and MSHybrid notebooks.
NVDECODE API
Added a new API that lets the client reconfigure the decoder resolution and other post processing parameters (such as the display resolution, cropping rectangle, and aspect ratio of the decoded frame) without having to destroy and recreate the decoder instance. This API is useful in scenarios where the decoder instance initialization time takes up a significant portion of the overall decode execution time; for example, in back-to-back decoding of multiple short clips of different resolutions.
The new API will be included in Video Codec SDK 8.2, which is expected to release in late Q2 2018.
