Nvidia’s Geforce 461.09 driver has a lot of fixes, especially for GTX 1080 Ti owners
Nvidia has launched their first driver of 2021 and unlike most of their drivers, Geforce 461.09 WHQL lacks any game-specific optimisation or support for any new video cards. This driver does one thing and one thing only, fix bugs, with two issues being specific for GTX 1080 Ti owners.Â
This is one of the few Nvidia drivers that are skippable is your currently experiencing no issues with your Geforce hardware, though for GTX 1080 Ti users, this driver should be considered a must if you are experiencing any desktops screen flicker or system freezes.Â
