Nvidia has released a new GPU driver, 461.40, that adds support for the new adventure-horror game, The Medium. Furthermore, the driver also provides many fixes for multiple games, as it eliminates crashes in games such as Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Detroit: Become Human, RE2 and Devil May Cry V, and DaVinci Resolve.

Some apps have also been addressed, but the list of known issues is still big and should be resolved in some future update. World of Warcraft players on the RTX 30 series may still notice a random flicker in certain locations, while Supreme Commander and Supreme Commander 2 suffer from low FPS. Below you can find the complete list of changes made with Nvidia’s 461.40.
