If you have a PC with a supported NVIDIA GeForce graphics, you can download a new driver with optimizations for two games and a single gaming fix. NVIDIA has released driver 596.21 WHQL featuring DLSS 4.5 support for PRAGMATA, NTE (Neverness to Everness), and Windrose.

NVIDIA often bundles new games with its graphics cards, and this time, it offers the same with PRAGMATA. You can get a free copy of the game by purchasing a qualifying GeForce RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti, or 5070 graphics card or a laptop with a corresponding laptop GPU. Additionally, PRAGMATA is now available on GeForce NOW, which allows those without a powerful PC to enjoy the game about fighting AI controlling a space station alongside an android.

PRAGMATA will be available on April 17 on Windows, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.

In addition, NVIDIA has updated Project G-Assist, an AI-powered feature in the NVIDIA App that helps you optimize and tune your computer to achieve the highest possible framerate using natural language (voice or text commands). The latest version now provides more accurate recommendations through an improved knowledge system. It can also better detect misconfigured settings in e-sports titles and configure various RTX features, such as DLSS Override, Smooth Motion, RTX HDR, Digital Vibrance, and encoder settings.

As for fixed bugs, there is only one resolved issue:

  • Arknights: Endfield: stutter may be observed in some gameplay.

There is also one known bug:

  • God of War: Ragnarok: Certain textures may intermittently flash white during gameplay.

You can download NVIDIA"s latest driver from the official website or via the NVIDIA App. It supports 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. As for hardware, NVIDIA supports the GTX 16 / RTX 20 Series and newer. Full release notes are available here.
