New NVIDIA Drivers Optimized for CoD Modern Warfare II

NVIDIA today released the GeForce 526.86 WHQL drivers. These provide a more stable gaming experience with “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II” than previous Game Ready drivers, resolving several graphics issues and bugs with DLSS and Reflex. The Drivers also fix random crashes with “Call of Duty: Vanguard” and a BSOD with VTube Studio. Fixed an issue where the GPU would freeze in a P0 state when exiting certain games. GPU freezing in a P0 state implies that the GPU, after exiting the game, remained running at maximum performance. Fixed an 8K60 video decode performance drop on RTX 4090s. Fixed rainbow artifacts in “Forza Horizon 5” on some PC configurations. You can download the drivers from this link.
