Nvidia releases their Geforce 411.70 driver for Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Forza Horizon 4
Strangely, this driver release is almost identical to Nvidia's 411.63 drivers, so much so that Nvidia's official release notes say version 411.63 instead of 411.70 on the first page. A notable change is that Nvidia's Geforce 411.70 driver is 469.19MB in size for the Windows 10 version, which is significantly smaller than the 517.11MB Geforce 411.63 driver that it replaces.
Another change that is worth taking note of is that bug number 2079538 has been moved from "Fixed Issues" to "Windows 10 Issues" in driver 411.70, suggesting that Nvidia's 411.63 drivers failed to fully address the bug.
Below are the full release notes for the Windows 10 version of Nvidia's Geforce 411.70 driver.
What’s New in Version 411.63 WHQL (The release notes say 411.63, not 411.70)
Game Ready Drivers provide the best possible gaming experience for all major new releases, including Virtual Reality games. Prior to a new title launching, our driver team is working up until the last minute to ensure every performance tweak and bug fix is included for the best gameplay on day-one.
Game Ready
Provides the optimal gaming experience for Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Forza Horizon 4, and FIFA 19.
Gaming Technology
Includes support for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti graphics cards.
New Features
- Added support for CUDA 10.0

NVIDIA RTX supports the Microsoft DirectX Raytracing (DXR) API on NVIDIA Volta
and Turing GPUs.
In order to get started with developing DirectX Raytracing applications accelerated by RTX, you'll need the following:
- NVIDIA Volta or Turing GPU
- Windows 10 RS4
- Microsoft's DXR developer package, consisting of DXR-enabled D3D runtimes, HLSL compiler, and headers
Vulkan 1.1
- This driver release provides full support for the new Vulkan 1.1 API and passes the Vulkan Conformance Test Suite (CTS) version 1.1.1.2.
- Includes interoperability with CUDA 10.0.
- New extensions for Turing GPUs:
− VK_NVX_raytracing (also available for Pascal GPUs with 8GB or more video
memory, and Volta GPUs)
− VK_NV_compute_shader_derivatives
− VK_NV_corner_sampled_image
− VK_NV_fragment_shader_barycentric
− VK_NV_mesh_shader
− VK_NV_representative_fragment_test
− VK_NV_scissor_exclusive
− VK_NV_shader_image_footprint
− VK_NV_shading_rate_image
Vulkan HDR for Windows
This driver release supports the Vulkan VK_EXT_swapchain_colorspace and VK_EXT_hdr_metadata extensions allowing applications to output HDR content to HDR displays via the Vulkan APIs.
OpenGL extensions for Turing GPUs
- GL_NV_compute_shader_derivatives
- GL_NV_fragment_shader_barycentric
- GL_NV_mesh_shader
- GL_NV_representative_fragment_test
- GL_NV_scissor_exclusive
- GL_NV_shading_rate_image
- GL_NV_shader_texture_footprint
NVIDIA Control Panel
System Info shows Boost Clock values (instead of Base Clock) for Turing and later GPUs.

Open Issues in Version 411.63 WHQL
As with every released driver, version 411.63 WHQL of the Release 410 driver has open issues and enhancement requests associated with it. This section includes lists of issues that are either not fixed or not implemented in this version. Some problems listed may not have been thoroughly investigated and, in fact, may not be NVIDIA issues. Others may have workaround solutions.
For notebook computers, issues can be system-specific and may not be seen on your particular notebook.
Windows 10 Issues
- [GeForce GTX 1060]AV receiver switches to 2-channel stereo mode after 5 seconds of audio idle. [2204857]
