Right click on the desktop to launch the new version.

The new version is 8.1.940.0 correct ?

Why do they have to add the .0 at the end, just seems silly

And I was just gonna commend Nvidia on going nearly an entire month without a new driver, and Bam, as soon as I create a new image, there`s a new driver out.

Oh! Got it!

Thanks, Faith.

Thought this was significant from the release notes:

Additionally, this driver supports Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling when used with the Windows 10 May 2020 Update.

We'll see how good HAGS (xD) is perfoming in the upcoming days/weeks/months, but in theory it sounds great for us gamers! It works best on the latest GPU from Nvidia (RTX cards), but I believe it will work on GTX 10 and 16 series aswell. in a nutshell:

This new feature can potentially improve performance and reduce latency by allowing the video card to directly manage its own memory.

" this driver supports Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling "...........Im not a "gamer" , so do I really need this update ?

You can check the release notes and see if there's any fixes to problems you may have. That's usually how I justify updating drivers if they seem irrelevant to me. But basically this driver is THE driver for Windows 10 2004 for Nvidia graphics cards. I will wait a couple of days before updating - as usual - and make note on any major issues that pops up.

There seems to be an incompatibility in this version with VirtualBox 3D acceleration. I've had to roll back.
