The latest Nvidia GeForce 416.81 graphics card driver fixes one of the high-profile BSOD issues affecting some GeForce RTX 2080 Ti users. This is a software-level fix only though, so it doesn’t tackle any of the hardware-based issues which appear to be causing a fair number of RTX 2080 Ti graphics cards to die.
This particular fix concerns GeForce RTX 2080 Ti’s having a blue-screen crash when exiting games while using a G-Sync monitor paired with a non-G-Sync monitor.
Elsewhere, the big draw for those of us who haven’t got $1200 graphics cards is day one Game Ready performance optimisation for Battlefield V. This should provide the optimal gaming experience for DICE’s multiplayer shooter, which is available to play from today for those of you with an Origin Access Premium subscription. From our time with the Battlefield 5 beta, it looked as if it was already running decently in our benchmarks, although DirectX 12 support was terrible at the time. Hopefully, this has all been ironed out in the intervening months though.
And that’s basically it for major changes, although there are the usual swathes of known issues and fixes that are worth keeping an eye out for. If you’re suffering from any of the issues fixed in the GeForce 416.81 GPU driver then be sure to give it a download, but otherwise, keep a wary eye on the known issues which may cause problems when you updated.
