Nvidia’s Geforce 466.47 WHQL driver preps for Day’s Gone and Knockout City
This will be the first driver to support Nvidia’s new LHR (Lite Hash Rate) RTX 3080, RTX 3070 and RTX 3060 Ti graphics cards, Nvidia’s Ethereum Nerfed graphics hardware. These GPUs are due to launch later this month, aiming to increase RTX 30 series availability amongst gamers. Â
This new driver from Nvidia is also one of the first to support Microsoft’ DirectX 12 Agility API, decoupling DirectX 12 updates from Windows 10. This API allows gamers to benefit from the latest additions to DirectX 12 without the latest Windows 10 updates, making it easier for gamers and developers to adopt the latest DirectX 12 features.Â
