There is a fair fact we want to talk about for the first time, and that as with every new driver, NVIDIA has redesigned safety at risk of previous versions; however, they do not appear in the papers or on the NVIDIA security website (Bulletin 4996 as they explain), which returns a 404 error at the time of writing these lines, so we cannot see what they have corrected.
That said, let's talk about what they announced to bring in these new drivers.
Game support and new G-Sync monitors
We've already mentioned that these GeForce 442.50 WHQL drivers have the primary function of adding support to new games to ensure that NVIDIA graphics card users have them excellent performance to them. In this case we talk about Apex Legends: Season 4, Divit 2 – Warlords of New York and ARK: Genesis Part 1, though NVIDIA didn't say what percentage of each one gets.
Either way, if you play or play any of the three games you know, you have to upgrade to make sure you will have the best performance. They have also added VRSS profiles to it VRChat, Budget Reduction 2: Lack of Machine, Missing Best: Saints & Sinners, Doctor Who and PokerStars VR.
In addition to gaming, NVIDIA has also added more monitors to the G-Sync compatible list, especially three monitors: AOC AG271FZ2, AOC AG271F1G2, and ASUS PG43U.
Fixed errors for these drivers
Similarly, in addition to all of the above, NVIDIA has worked to resolve problems experienced by previous drivers. The list of errors corrected in version 442.50 WHQL is as follows:
- Apex fairy: the game gave the error «DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG 0x887A0006» hung.
- Mortal Kombat: sometimes the game is closed on its own without warning or providing any error.
- Zombie Army: War Dead 4: with Vulkan API and HDR running, some blurring sometimes occurs.
- Warye: As the Low Latency mode was active, DWM was sometimes reset.
- Twitch Studio: If you have Image Sharpening, it sometimes causes problems with image manipulation.
- Sonic & All-Stars Swap: The game was sometimes hanged when played on screens where there was water.
- Red Redemption 2: the game is sometimes restricted when using a Vulkan API with Pascal or earlier graphics.
- World of War Games: Azeroth War: at one point there was a collision in the game while switching between DirectX 11 and DirectX 12.
- Zombie Arms: Dead War 4: Ansel and FreeStyle tabs are disabled.
- Tom Clancy & # 39; s Siege's Six Rain: when playing with the Vulkan API and G-Sync enabled, it happens with a combination of alternatives between full screen change and window mode.
