NVIDIA Releases Game Ready 496.13 WHQL GeForce Graphics Driver, Support Removed for Windows 8.1/8/7 & Kepler

NVIDIA has today launched its 496.13 game-ready WHQL GeForce graphics driver with many improvements and changes. Starting with the naming, the company has jumped from the 472.12 WHQL version released on September 20th to the 496.xx naming released today. Such a significant increase in version naming is uncommon, and makes us wonder why the company decided to do it, probably in preparation for the Windows 11 branch of their drivers, which uses version 500.

Starting from release 496.13, NVIDIA has also removed support for Windows 8.1, Windows 8 and Windows 7. The last driver to support these operating systems is 472.12. This makes some sense, since between this release and today, Microsoft has launched their Windows 11 operating system. NVIDIA also trimmed more fat by removing support for the Kepler architecture, which was launched in 2012 and included models like GeForce GTX 780 Ti, GTX 780, GTX 770, GTX 760, GT 740, GT 730, GTX 690, GTX 680, GTX 670, GTX 660 Ti, GTX 660, GTX 650 Ti and GTX 630.

Update 15:57 UTC: Added confirmation from NVIDIA


Download NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Drivers 496.13 WHQL.


In addition, this release is unique because it lacks the standard, non-DCH driver version that NVIDIA usually releases, in addition to the DCH driver. Today's release contains the DCH version of the driver only, pushing Microsoft's DCH driver packaging technique as the way forward. Both AMD and Intel have been shipping DCH drivers exclusively for a long time. On NVIDIA, the only significant difference is that the classic driver control panel is gone and that you'll have to download the UWP version through the Microsoft App Store.

We reached out to NVIDIA, who confirmed that R495 is the latest version with support for Windows 7/8.x, and that they'll focus on Windows 10/11 DCH going forward. AMD stopped supporting these operating systems several months ago.

As with any game-ready driver, NVIDIA added support for the latest Back 4 Blood, Baldur's Gate 3, and Crysis Remaster Trilogy, which are October's upcoming games. As we previously covered, this driver also expands NVIDIA Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) support to a few more games, which we have covered in the previous post here. For a full change-log, please see the list at the end of the post.

Fixed
  • [GeForce RTX 3080]: The system does not boot with two Samsung Odyssey G70A 28" monitors are connected to the GPU. [3359697]
  • [GeForce GTX 960]: The primary monitor lost after resume from sleep or shutdown. [3340905]

  • [Multiple Apps][Ansel/Freestyle]: Depth of field filter shows blurry characters. [200749545]
  • [Notebook]: Vulkan test applications run on the integrated graphics processor instead of the discrete GPU. [200770322]

Windows 10/11 Issues
  • [Doom Eternal][HDR][FSR]: Eternal]: Texture across the game darkens and is unplayable after enabling HDR + FSR. [200776916]

  • [HDR][G-Sync]: Mouse pointer gets stuck after turning on HDR from the Windows Control Panel or after toggling G-Sync from the NVIDIA control panel. [200762998]
  • To work around, click the mouse (right or left button). The mouse cursor will be sluggish for a few seconds before returning to normal operation.
  • [NVIDIA Control Panel]: After setting the display multiplexer type to "dGPU", the setting is not preserved across a reboot or resume from S4. [200779758]
  • [Windows 11]: Display goes blank when video is switched to full-screen with G-Sync enabled. [200778687]

This damn bug gave me a near heart attack after I'd just got my 3080, it looks almost identical to the sort of visual glitching you get with borked VRAM, All sorts of RMA horrors flashed through my head when I first saw it, until I checked on the Division forums and saw screenshots from other players with the exact same patterns.

The DCH drivers wouldn't be so bad if they didn't make me go to the Windows Store to download nVidia Control Panel... why do I have to go to two places for a fully functional GPU..

Hopefully, this means a new Linux driver is not far away, maybe even with GBM support for Wayland.

Just download the standard driver, and no need to download the control panel from windows store

The DCH driver will be the only one soon. Reason why they want you to goto the store is to track you. So they can push ads. Freaking joke. The lack of security is what it means.

Same here, also with an RTX 3080. Years ago had same kind of artifacts while playing Dishonored and had to replace my GPU. This time in TD2 was fortunately solved by switching back to DX11…

Yes, they removed Kepler GPU's from INF's. That should save a few kilobytes.

However, Kepler code is still inside the runtimes, so guinea pigs should be able to install the driver via NVCleanstall

And you link the old driver...
If going forward DCH is the only option i foresee a lot of problems. Confusion about missing control panel to issues with the stupid microsoft store.
Hopefully community will come up with a third party solution to bypass the store and have the control panel as a separate installer.

Use NVCleanstall, it can install the UWP control panel without connecting to the store

What about new monitors that will come up, does this mean Kepler G-Sync support is also N/A for them ?
(there are monitor profiles in driver note's, that's why I ask)

Also, Ultimate driver comparisons for Fermi/Kepler can now be done officially :D
Do we finally see that mythical nerfs, or not ?

Pretty huge issue. Guess I'll hold off on upgrading to Windows 11 and this driver. Hopefully, it'll be fixed in a month or so.

Estimated development of events.

- nVidia pushes DCH only drivers

- community makes own compilation of drivers

- nVidia goes back to making regular drivers

I remember age, when community even made own drivers (and better, in this case it was ATi).

MS, nVidia and so on can push whatever they want, if its not accepted, then it wont fly. Only result is going to be pushing ppl to go alternative.

"NVIDIA also trimmed more fat by removing support for the Kepler architecture"
830MB (496.13, W11) vs 701MB (472.12, W10) vs 608MB (472.12, W7). LOL. Where?...

You can remove "soon", it seems it is the case right now :(
Confirmed. It used to be the case where you could download a normal driver instead of a DCH simply by deleting -dch from the URL, ie, turn...

desktop-win10-win11-64bit-international-dch-whql.exe into
desktop-win10-win11-64bit-international-whql.exe

but this no longer works. On the other hand, I had zero intention of "upgrading" to W11 anyway and play few new AAA games, so nothing of value is lost by staying on v472.12 for quite a while yet (which is supported for security updates through to 2024).

Added tweak to install NVIDIA Control Panel app from Microsoft Store (without Microsoft account), DCH drivers only

I understand they are maxwell and not kepler cards, but why would nvidia continue supporting the GTX 750 and 750ti? Wouldnt it make more sense to just drop the 6 and 700 lines as a whole? i feel like it would be confusing for people who don't know alot about these cards and download the wrong drivers and be frustrated when it doesnt work or dont have the latest features.
