Studio Application/Feature Support:
• Blender 3.2—support for OpenVDB platform enabled, offering infinite 3D index space to
import/export massive USD files
• BorisFX Sapphire 2022.5—support for multi‐GPU systems, enabling GPU scaling and GPUaccelerated
performance increases with plugins (e.g., Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve)
• Topaz Denoise AI 3.7.0—support for TensorRT to allow faster inference speeds with NVIDIA
GPUs
Fixed issues :
[Blender]: Blender Benchmark GUI version fails to properly open on Quadro/RTX products
[Control Panel][Notebook]: Default value of “Preferred graphics processor” field is blank for some
3D profiles
[Mosaic]: Unable to set displays as client when topology is configured with 2x Quadro Sync II cards
[MultiDisplay]: HD video playback gets stuck with 12+ displays
Known issues :
Users may encounter an NVIDIA Display Driver Installation Error – “An unknown error has
occurred.” In the event this error occurs with the NVIDIA RTX Enterprise Driver Version 516.59,
please download the NVIDIA RTX Enterprise Driver Version 516.25 first and then proceed to reinstall
the NVIDIA RTX Enterprise Driver Version 516.59. NVIDIA RTX Enterprise Driver Version 516.25 is
available for download from the NVIDIA Driver Downloads page below:
www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en‐us
Earlier versions of NVIDIA RTX Experience (i.e., prior to 1.4.1.11) may exhibit issues with new driver
updates. In the event this behavior occurs, please download and install NVIDIA RTX Experience
Version 1.4.1.11 to resolve the issues.
Turning Off V‐Sync to Boost Performance :
To get the best benchmark and application performance measurements, turn V‐Sync off as follows:
1. Open the NVIDIA Control Panel and make sure that Advanced Settings is selected from the
control panel tool bar.
2. From the Select a Task pane, under 3D Settings, click Manage 3D Settings, then click the
Global Settings tab.
3. From the Global presets pull‐down menu, select Base profile.
4. From the Settings list box, select Vertical sync and change its value to Force off, then click
Apply.
From the Global presets pull‐down menu, select 3D App ‐ Default Global Settings (the
driver’s default profile) or use the application profile that matches the application you are
testing, then click Apply.
Be sure to close the NVIDIA Control Panel completely —leaving it open will affect benchmark and application
performance.
