Nvidia heeft nieuwe stabiele GeForce-drivers uitgebracht. De drivers dragen versienummer 418.81 WHQL, zijn geschikt voor Windows 7 en hoger en kunnen worden gebruikt op kaarten gebaseerd op de Kepler-architectuur of nieuwer. Deze uitgave laat onder meer prestatieverbeteringen zien wanneer er van G-Sync en SLI gebruik gemaakt wordt op kaarten uitgerust met een Pascal of Maxwell gpu. Ook is er ondersteuning aanwezig voor enkele mobiele GeForce RTX-gpus en de Port Royal-test van Futuremark 3DMark. De changelog laat natuurlijk ook weer bugfixes zien en een handvol problemen die wel al bekend zijn, maar waar nog geen oplossing voor is. De complete release notes staan hieronder:
