nVIDIA Studio Driver 531.61 for Windows 11 / 10

NVIDIA Studio Drivers provide artists, creators and 3D developers the best performance and reliability when working with creative applications. To achieve the highest level of reliability, Studio Drivers undergo extensive testing against multi-app creator workflows and multiple revisions of the top creative applications from Adobe to Autodesk and beyond.

Although GeForce Game Ready Drivers and NVIDIA Studio Drivers you can install on supported notebook GPUs, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) provides certified drivers for your specific notebook on their website. NVIDIA recommends that you check with your notebook OEM for recommended software updates for your notebook.

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, a pixel can be built from 16.7 million shades of color.
