NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Drivers

419.17 WHQL (February 22nd, 2019)

Game Ready

Provides the optimal gaming experience for Anthem and DiRT Rally 2.0.

Gaming Technology

Includes support for NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti graphics cards.

Application SLI Profiles

Added or updated the following SLI profiles:

• Apex Legends
• Far Cry New Dawn

New Features

• NVIDIA Control Panel
  Updated to version 8.1.950. Added new Developer->Manage GPU Performance Counters controls.
• Video Codec SDK 9.0 (Released Feb 11, 2019)
  Included Features
  • Supports NVENC/NVDEC on NVIDIA Turing GPUs
    NVENC API has been updated to support HEVC B-frames on Turing GPUs.
  • NVENC API adds the capability to output the encoded bitstream, and motion vectors from Motion-Estimation-only mode to video memory. This avoids the overhead of copying the output from system to video memory for processing pipelines operating directly on video memory.
  • NVENC API now accepts CUArray as an input buffer. The SDK contains a sample application to demonstrate how to feed Vulkan surface to NVENC using Vulkan-CUDA interop.
• Optical Flow SDK 1.0 (Released Feb 11, 2019)
  This is a new API for Optical Flow and stereo disparity hardware engine, available on Turing GPUs.

Driver Security - Restricting Access to GPU Performance Counters

The NVIDIA graphics driver contains a vulnerability (CVE-2018-6260) that may allow
access to application data processed on the GPU through a side channel exposed by the
GPU performance counters. GPU performance counters are needed by developers in
order to use NVIDIA developer tools such as CUPTI, Nsight Graphics, and Nsight
Compute. In order to address CVE-2018-6260 the driver needs to be updated and
additional steps listed below are needed to disable access to non-admin users. For more
information about CVE-2018-6260 visit the NVIDIA Security Bulletin 4772.
Access to GPU performance counters should be disabled for non-admin users who do
not need to use NVIDIA developer tools.

Restricting access to GPU performance counters can be accomplished through the
NVIDIA Control Panel->Developer->Manage GPU Performance Counters page (NV Control
Panel v8.1.950). Refer to the Developer->Manage GPU Performance Counters section of the
NVIDIA Control Panel Help for instructions.

NVIDIA Fermi GPUs: Beginning with Release 396, the NVIDIA Game Ready driver no longer supports NVIDIA GPUs based on the Fermi architecture.

Game Ready

Provides the optimal gaming experience for BattleTech and FrostPunk.

New Features

NVIDIA RTXTM Technology

Developer preview for NVIDIA RTX ray tracing technology for DirectX 12. NVIDIA RTX supports the Microsoft DirectX Raytracing (DXR) API on NVIDIA Volta GPUs.
In order to get started with developing DirectX Raytracing applications accelerated by RTX, you'll need the following:

• NVIDIA Volta GPU
• NVIDIA driver version 396 or higher
• Windows 10 RS4
• Microsoft's DXR developer package, consisting of DXR-enabled D3D runtimes, HLSL compiler, and headers

Vulkan 1.1

This driver release provides full support for the new Vulkan 1.1 API and passes the Vulkan Conformance Test Suite (CTS) version 1.1.0.3.

HD Audio

This driver adds new sample rates 32 kHz, 88.2 kHz, and 176.4 kHz to the HDMI device for all GPUs

Display Driver Standalone Installer

The standalone display driver installer now removes extracted files after installing the driver, leaving a smaller footprint on the hard drive.

Display Driver Libraries

Added new libraries (nvdlist.dll and nvdlistx.dll) to support Optimus and MSHybrid notebooks.

NVDECODE API

Added a new API that lets the client reconfigure the decoder resolution and other post processing parameters (such as the display resolution, cropping rectangle, and aspect ratio of the decoded frame) without having to destroy and recreate the decoder instance. This API is useful in scenarios where the decoder instance initialization time takes up a significant portion of the overall decode execution time; for example, in back-to-back decoding of multiple short clips of different resolutions.
The new API will be included in Video Codec SDK 8.2, which is expected to release in late Q2 2018.
