NVIDIA GeForce 566.14 WHQL driver is available for download

NVIDIA has released a new driver for its graphics cards. According to the release notes, the NVIDIA GeForce 566.14 WHQL driver is optimized for STALKER 2 and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. So, if you are planning on playing them, I suggest downloading this new driver.

This new driver also fixes a few bugs. For instance, it fixes an issue that could prevent DSR/DLDSR custom resolutions from appearing in certain games. It also fixes a bug in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 that prevented users from using GFE Freestyle Filters.

The NVIDIA GeForce 566.14 WHQL driver also solves an issue that could allow cache files to be created even when “Shader Cache size” was set to “disabled”. Plus, it fixes an issue that could cause higher than normal CPU usage with Bluestacks/Corsair iCUE.

As I’ve said numerous times, if you do not suffer from the above issues, you can safely skip the driver. From what I know, it does not bring any performance improvements to older titles. So, there is no point at all in upgrading your driver.

Like always, you can download this new driver from this link. Below, you can also find its complete changelog.

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
