Nvidia’s newest Recreation Prepared GeForce driver (566.03) is out and will optimise your rig for some new and upcoming video games and DLC, however Corsair iCUE or Bluestacks customers would possibly wish to maintain off on urgent that shiny inexperienced replace button.
In its launch notes (PDF), Nvidia stories (through Overclock3D) “larger than regular CPU utilization” as an “open challenge” for iCUE and Bluestacks software program. The previous is software program that enables for centralised management for all of your Corsair {hardware}—you already know, for that candy, candy RGB sync—and the latter is Android emulator software program.
It is a bit of unusual {that a} GPU driver replace might trigger excessive CPU utilization, however all these elements are interconnected, I suppose. We do not know precisely how a lot “larger than regular” the CPU utilization might be for customers of those applications, both. Nevertheless, in case you use both of them and you will not be taking part in the brand new video games the replace’s focusing on, it is perhaps finest to skip the 556.03 driver or look forward to a hotfix.
In response to Nvidia, the newest DLSS 3-supporting video games that this driver ought to profit embrace:
Of greatest observe is perhaps the primary three of those. Black Ops 6 is ready to launch tomorrow and might be coming to Recreation Go, Dragon Age: The Veilguard will launch on the spookiest of dates (October 31), and the Alan Wake enlargement is out there proper now.
Avid gamers desirous to play any of those titles who additionally use Bluestacks or iCUE might need a call to make, then. In spite of everything, the motive force might improve efficiency in these video games greater than sufficient to offset any improve in CPU utilization alongside iCUE or Bluestacks.
You possibly can, after all, set up the motive force after which roll it again to uninstall it if it is inflicting too many issues. Or you might briefly uninstall iCUE or Bluestacks, relying on how needed it’s. Uninstalling the previous is perhaps tough for some methods, although, provided that Corsair can typically make its software program a requirement for management of its followers and so forth.
Regardless of the case, in case you use both of those items of software program, a minimum of take the time to determine whether or not the newest Nvidia driver replace is price it, as a result of it may not be.
