Driver Name Change

With the introduction of NVIDIA RTX products powering the next generation of professional visual, compute, and AI platform solutions for the enterprise, the Quadro driver will be transitioning to the NVIDIA RTX Enterprise brand to better align with new and future products. NVIDIA RTX Enterprise drivers will continue to provide users with the same level of enterprise-class quality, reliability, performance, and security as previous Quadro drivers. These new drivers will not only deliver the latest features and improvements for NVIDIA RTX GPUs, but also for current and previous generation Quadro GPUs.

The driver branch name will also transition from "Optimal Driver for Enterprise" to "Production Branch." All the same enterprise attributes of the driver branch will remain. The new branch name will now allow driver types to be consistently referenced across other enterprise GPU products as well, such as Data Center GPUs.

NVIDIA RTX Production Branch Driver

Release 460 is a 'Production Branch’ (PB) release. PB drivers are designed and tested to provide long-term stability and availability, making these drivers ideal for enterprise customers and other users who require application and hardware certification from ISVs and OEMs respectively.

PB drivers are a superset of the NVIDIA Studio Drivers and provides all the benefits of the Studio Driver of the same version, in addition to NVIDIA RTX-specific enhancements and testing.

What’s New in Version 460 U2

  • Added security updates for driver components See the NVIDIA Security Bulletin 5142 for details.
  • Added support for new NVIDIA A40 GPU
  • Added new display features:
    Multiplane Overlay--allows for the GPU hardware to composite the final image planes instead of the operating system's Desktop Windows Manager to reduce system latency. (Requires NVIDIA Quadro RTX and later GPUs; SDR currently supported, HDR support to follow)

Fixed Issues in Version 460 U2

  • [V-Ray renderer]: The renderer deadlocks within a cuMemcpyHtoDAsync call on a 32-core processor when pushing several small copy commands to the stream.
  • Shaders (especially geometry shaders) are not working correctly.
  • [SolidAngle][Turing GPUs]: Failures are reported when running tests.
  • [Redshift3d]: The application fails to create a second CUDA context on a system with 512GB of system RAM.

Open Issues in Version 460 U2

  • [Alchemist]: The application crashes when either changing the display resolution or switching to another display with a different resolution.

    To workaround, avoid changing the resolution, or disconnecting from or connecting to an external display with the application opened.
