Nvidia outs hotfix driver for BSOD, wake from sleep, G-SYNC, Smooth Motion, NV-Failsafe by Sayan Sen
Nvidia today rolled out a new hotfix driver in order to fix various issues related to monitors and displays. The company notes G-SYNC-related frame pacing troubles should now be resolved on Ada Lovelace GPUs, ie, RTX 4000 series graphics cards. For anyone not familiar, G-SYNC is Nvidia's in-house proprietary adaptive synchronization tech that syncs the GPU's framerate output with the monitor's refresh rate in order to match them and eliminate screen tearing.
On the topic of synchronization, Nvidia claims improved stability when gaming with Vsync or vertical sync on multi-monitor displays. The company also finally fixes a bug wherein displays would fail to wake up from sleep mode.
Another bug has been resolved when certain monitors were identified as "NV-Failsafe" since the EDID information was incorrectly read by the GPU. EDID or Extended Display Identification Data of a monitor essentially contains the necessary metadata that lets a GPU understand the features and capabilities of a connected monitor.
Ghosting and jittering problems as well as game crashes during the use of the Smooth Motion functionality have also been fixed with this release. Nvidia Smooth Motion feature is a driver-based AI model that delivers a seemingly "smoother" gameplay experience by inferring an additional frame between two rendered frames.
Here is the full changelog for the new GeForce hotfix driver 610.52:
[Ada] Resolves a frame pacing issue on certain monitors when G-SYNC is enabled
Resolved an issue that prevented the EDID from being read on certain monitors causing them to be identified as "NVIDIA NV-Failsafe”
Improved gaming stability in multi-monitor configurations when using V-SYNC with DLSS Frame Generation
Resolved an issue where certain monitors would not wake from sleep mode
[World of Warcraft] Gaming stability improvements
Resolved an issue that could cause jittering or ghosting in some DirectX 11 games when Smooth Motion is enabled
Resolved an issue that could cause some games to crash when launched with Smooth Motion enabled
General stability improvements when the system fails to create a new allocation
Others in the feedback thread also point out that the hotfix patches a blue screen of death (BSOD) issue. You can provide your own feedback there too after downloading the new 610.52 driver from Nvidia's official website at this link.
Keep in mind that this hotfix is not essential to install unless you are having any or all of these issues. As such you can stay on the latest available GameReady driver version 610.47.
