NVIDIA has released a new graphics driver for supported GPUs. Version 545.92 is now available for download from the official website with support and optimizations for the upcoming Alan Wake 2 release, plus a fix for oversaturated colors after closing a virtual reality application.
Alan Wake 2, a sequel to the critically acclaimed horror from Remedy Entertainment, launches on PC (an Epic Games Store exclusive), Xbox, and PlayStation on October 27, 2023. The game tells the story of Alan Wake, a writer who went missing, and an FBI agent investigating a series of ritualistic murders.
This new Game Ready Driver provides the best gaming experience for the latest new games supporting DLSS 3.5 technology and DLSS Ray Reconstruction including Alan Wake 2. Additionally, this Game Ready Driver supports the launch of titles supporting NVIDIA DLSS 3 technology including Ghostrunner 2.

Some games and applications are designed to run at a fixed frame rate, and consequently do not take advantage of NVIDIA G-Sync. To prevent issues, G-Sync may be disabled for those applications.
