TheNvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Tilaunched just a day ago, but even if you weren’t lucky enough to get thegraphics card, you may still want to download the new driver.
While the driver obviously makes the new GPU actually work, it’s also packed some fixes to some annoying issues that other GPUs might have been facing, including BSOD (Blue-Screen) errors.
There are four core issues that have been fixed this time around.Ampere graphics cardscould occasionally cause a blue-screen error when waking up from sleep,Star Wars: Squadrons could mess with Freestyle and Ansel, while users could get a blue-screen when browsing videos in Chrome, and display corruption in theLenovoLegion Y740 after waking from sleep.
If you have been experiencing any of these problems with yourNvidiagraphics cards, you should head to theNvidia driver download pageor download the new driver throughGeForce Experienceto alleviate those issues. Though, if you don’t have an Ampere graphics card or theLenovo Legion Y740, and haven’t seen a BSOD while watching YouTube, you can probably skip this one.
Although, we generally recommendupgrading your graphics driverwhenever there’s a new one available.
