NVIDIA has released the first driver of the new R445 family (version 445.xx to 449.xx).

 

GeForce 445.75

Game Ready for Half-Life: Alyx
The new Game Ready Driver provides the latest performance optimizations, profiles, and bug fixes for Half-Life: Alyx.

In addition, this release also provides optimal support for Resident Evil 3, Ghost Recon Breakpoint’s Ghost Experience update, and the addition of NVIDIA DLSS 2.0 to Control and MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries.

 
DLSS 2.0:

Powered by dedicated AI processors on GeForce RTX GPUs called Tensor Cores, DLSS 2.0 is a new and improved deep learning neural network that boosts frame rates while generating beautiful, crisp game images. It gives gamers the performance headroom to maximize ray tracing settings and increase output resolutions.

Fixed Issues
– [GeForce RTX 2080 Ti][Rise Of The Tomb Raider – DirectX 12]: Blue-screen crash occurs after playing the game for 5-10 minutes. [2904755/2847526]
– [Doom Eternal]: There is black flickering in the game. [2904116]
– Some DirectX 11 games may fail to launch when Image Sharpening is enabled from the NVIDIA Control Panel: [2901920]
– [Notebook]: Graphical corruption may occur after resume from display sleep. [2859247]

 

GeForce 445.98 Hotfix

NVIDIA has published an hotfix driver for Windows 10 only based on the previous Game Ready driver 445.87:

This Hotfix driver resolves the following issues:
– Notebooks with Maxwell generation GPUs may experience higher GPU utilization during game play leading to reduced battery life and higher temperature
– Fixed an issue where the shader cache was sometimes incorrectly purged on app launch
– Some games may appear very bright when HDR is enabled
– [F1 2019]: Game may randomly crash to desktop
– [Overwatch]: Improves game stability
– Fixes driver installation issue on Colorful GeForce GTX 1650

 

GeForce 446.14

NVIDIA has published a new WHQL driver for Windows 10/7:

Game Ready for the Valorant
The new Game Ready Driver provides the latest performance optimizations, profiles, and bug fixes for Valorant. In addition, this release also provides optimal support for Minecraft Dungeons, Disintegration, and Crucible.

New Features and Other Changes
– Added Variable Rate Supersampling (VRSS) support for Onward.

Fixed Issues in this Release
– [Notebook]: Notebooks with Maxwell generation GPUs may experience higher GPU utilization during game play leading to reduced battery life and higher temperatures. [2929921/200608270]
– [SLI]: Major frame time spikes occur in multiple games.[2903264]
– [HDR]: Some games may appear very bright when HDR is enabled. [2909218]
– [Overwatch]: Improved game stability. [2938981]
– [Monster Hunter World Iceborne]: Artifacts appear in the game. [2903858]
– [Resident Evil 3 Remake][DirectX 12]: Some objects in the game may flicker. [2938095]
– [F1 2019]: The game may randomly crash to the desktop. [200608572]
– Fixed an issue where the shader cache was sometimes incorrectly purged upon launching an application. [2937218]
– Fixed driver installation issue on Colorful GeForce GTX 1650. [2919568]
– Corsair iCUE program triggers Geforce Overlay. [200614189]
