GeForce Hotfix Driver Version 516.79

NVIDIA has rolled out GeForce Hotfix Driver Version 516.79, which improves DLSS performance in Red Dead Redemption 2, and packs some other improvements.

After last month’s Game Ready Driver 516.59, the green team has now released a hotfix for its driver, improving DLSS performance for Rockstar’s title compared to previous drivers. In addition, this hotfix driver improves gameplay stability in both Apex Legends and Halo Infinite. This hotfix also aims to address some reported crashes and freezes in Destiny 2, Dungeon 3, and Overwatch. The fix is based on Game Ready Driver 516.59, which offered optimizations for F1 22, Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak, and the action platform game Loopmancer.
