Other issues addressed include consistent crashes with games like Detroit: Become Human and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, as well as some optimizations for Adobe Premiere Pro. The full patch notes for the hotfix can be found below.

Nvidia usually reserves GPU updates for big PC releases, such as the last Game Ready Driver that launched with Cyberpunk 2077, but has since been releasing smaller hotfixes. The company does note that the fixes included don’t undergo as rigorous testing as those included in Game Ready Drivers, so keep that in mind before updating.
