NVIDIA Studio Drivers are the essential solution for artists, creators, and 3D developers. They are meticulously engineered to deliver optimal performance and reliability for the world’s leading creative applications. To improve stability, Studio Drivers are validated through multi-app testing involving creative tools from Adobe, Autodesk, and other key vendors, supporting trustworthy performance.
Although you can install GeForce Game Ready Drivers and NVIDIA Studio Drivers on supported notebook GPUs, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) provides certified drivers for your specific notebook on their website. NVIDIA recommends checking with your notebook OEM for the appropriate software updates.
NVIDIA Studio Driver supports
30-bit color
In addition, this new NVIDIA Studio Driver introduces support for 30-bit color across all product lines. With 24-bit color, each pixel uses 16.7 million shades. At 30-bit color, each pixel uses over 1 billion shades, removing abrupt shifts in similar tones.
Applications
The July NVIDIA Studio Driver delivers optimal support for the newest creative applications and updates, bringing significant performance enhancements to your workflow. This includes the arrival of FLEX.1 Kontext in LTX Studio, which now features TensorRT and FP4 support. This powerful combination doubles performance and reduces VRAM consumption by up to 70%, allowing you to push your creative boundaries further than ever.
