NVIDIA Driver 566.14 is a Game Ready and Studio Driver released in November 2024. This driver offers the best gaming experience for new titles supporting DLSS 3, including S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. It also provides optimal support for updates to the NVIDIA App and RTX Remix.
What are the key features and fixes in this driver?
Game Ready optimizations for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
Application support for the latest NVIDIA app and RTX Remix updates.
Bug fixes addressing DSR/DLDSR, Call of Duty MWIII Freestyle filters, and high CPU usage with Bluestacks and Corsair iCUE.
Restored support for CPUs without the POPCNT instruction.
Security updates addressing vulnerabilities outlined in the 'NVIDIA GPU Display Driver - October 2024' bulletin.
Are there any known issues with this driver?
Yes, there are a few open issues:
Windows 10 transparency effects may not work correctly.
Issues persist with Maxwell GT72 2QD notebooks, Houdini XPU rendering, and LFC/VRR on non-Gsync validated monitors.
Some users report issues with ReBAR support, screen flickering, and game crashes.
Should I upgrade to driver 566.14?
It depends. While many users report positive experiences and performance gains, some encounter issues.
The best approach is to wait a few days and monitor community feedback. If no widespread problems are reported, you can try the new driver. Remember, you can always use DDU to uninstall and revert to a previous driver if needed.
How do I install the new driver?
You can download the driver directly from the NVIDIA website or through the NVIDIA app. For a clean installation, it is recommended to use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to remove previous drivers before installing the new one.
What are some common troubleshooting steps if I experience issues?
Ensure you are on the latest Windows 10 or 11 build.
Perform a clean driver install using DDU.
Set Power Management Mode to "Prefer Maximum Performance" in the NVIDIA Control Panel.
Investigate Windows TDR (Timeout Detection and Recovery) issues.
Consult the NVIDIA forums or contact your hardware manufacturer for further support.
Is there a difference between the Game Ready and Studio Drivers?
If the version number is the same (e.g., both 566.14), the Studio and Game Ready drivers have the same core components and game/application profiles. The only differences are the installer media and release frequency. Studio drivers are released less often and focus on stability for creative applications.
