PC users with Nvidia graphics cards can download a new Studio Driver optimized for productivity applications like Adobe, Autodesk, and more. Studio Drivers receive fewer updates than Game Ready releases due to extensive testing in creative workflows and programs.
Version 531.41 improves stability in Adobe applications and fixes issues with AV1 encoding in Beamr. Although the driver is made for creative professionals and other non-gaming software, Nvidia also packs its Studio Drivers with gaming-related changes. There is a fix for rainbow-like artifacts in Forza Horizon 5, improvements for Portal with RTX, and Horizon Zero Dawn.
Here is the complete changelog:
- Adobe application stability issues using 531.18
