Nvidia today has launched its latest WHQL-certified display driver version 471.41. The new driver adds support for Nvidia"s DLSS technology in a couple of titles. As the company had promised, today Rockstar"s Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR 2) gets support for the update. Alongside RDR 2, survival-horror title, Chernobylite - that"s still in early access - has also gained support for the image upscaling technology.
With the help of DLSS, Nvidia says RDR 2 gets a performance boost of up to 45%. Meanwhile, with Chernobylite, the performance has close to doubled in certain circumstances according to Nvidia"s own numbers.
The driver also adds support for two new G-Sync Compatible monitors from Samsung, namely:
- LS28AG700N, a 28" 4K panel,
- LC27G50A, a 27" 1440p model.
As usual, the new driver also fixes several problems which are:
- [Capture One]: Hardware acceleration stops working. [3338552]
- Disabled NOHud/RemoveHud filter from the game Valorant. [3332516]
- [Doom Eternal]: The game may freeze during gameplay. [3331270]

And here are the issues that still remain on Windows 10 although a couple of them have a temporary workaround:
- [Batman Arkham Knight][GeForce 10 Series]: The game may crash when turbulence smoke is used. [3202250]
To work around, disable "INTERACTIVE SMOKE/FOG" from the in-game graphics options- [YouTube]: Video playback stutters while scrolling down the YouTube page. [3129705]
