Nvidia has released a new driver to cover software and hardware arriving this week. NVIDIA GeForce 461.40 WHQL is both game ready for Thursday’s (1/28) release of The Medium, a psychological horror game, and today’s launch of the initial RTX 30 laptops. I assume the latter of the two won’t pertain to many if the laptops are as elusive as the standalone RTX 30 series graphics cards.

Of course, the latest products aren’t the only targets of the 461.40 driver. The Resident Evil 2 Remake and Devil May Cry V finally have DX11-related crashes resolved. Additionally, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Detroit: Become Human have also eliminated sporadic crashing, thanks to the inclusion of last week’s Hotfix 461.33 driver in this full release.

Read on for the full details.
