nVIDIA Studio Driver 561.09 for Windows 11/10

NVIDIA Studio Drivers provide artists, creators, and 3D developers with the best performance and reliability when working with creative applications. To achieve the highest level of reliability, Studio Drivers undergo extensive testing against multi-app creator workflows and multiple revisions of the top creative applications from Adobe to Autodesk and beyond.

Although you can install GeForce Game Ready Drivers and NVIDIA Studio Drivers on supported notebook GPUs, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) provides certified drivers for your specific notebook on their website. NVIDIA recommends checking with your notebook’s OEM for the recommended software updates.
