Nvidia RTX 4090 Driver, the release date for Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4090, and with it comes a brand new driver — version 522.25(opens in new tab), which is jam-packed with features.
Aside from RTX 4090 and game ready driver support, Nvidia has added a slew of DX12 optimization updates, which apply to 14 titles and give all RTX GPUs a performance boost (depending on title and resolution). Nvidia RTX 4090 Driver, This is one of the most feature-rich updates we’ve seen from Nvidia in a while — it might be worth installing if you don’t update your graphics drivers often. Nvidia’s DX12 optimizations steal the show Most of Nvidia’s DX12 optimizations don’t significantly improve performance, but they’re still better than nothing. On the low end, Nvidia’s optimizations provide a 5% boost in Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Tom Clancy’s The Division 2. The best performance results come from F1 22 with a 17% performance boost at 4k resolution, and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, which saw a 25% bump at 1080p resolution. According to Nvidia, these DX12 optimizations include shader compilation optimizations, reduction of CPU overhead, and resizable bar profiles for Forza Horizon 5 and F1 22 (the last of which only applies to resizable bar supported GPUs — RTX 30 series and newer).
The rest of these optimizations will work with any RTX graphics card, so it’s a free upgrade for anyone packing an RTX GPU — but your mileage will vary based on your system configuration. Nvidia’s results are coming from a test bed consisting of an RTX 3090 Ti, RTX 3080 Ti, RTX 3070 Ti, and RTX 3060 Ti paired to a Core i9-12900K processor with 32GB of RAM. This driver update is also the first update supporting Nvidia’s all-new GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, and is required to run the new flagship card (if you’re planning on buying one today). The RTX 4090 is Nvidia’s first RTX 40-Series GPU operating on the Ada Lovelace GPU architecture. In our review of the Founders Edition variant, we saw performance improvements of 50 – 70% over the RTX 3090 Ti.
