Nvidia has released its new Game Ready 591.44 WHQL drivers, and all Windows 11 users with GeForce graphics cards are strongly encouraged to install them right away.
Major Fix for Windows 11 Performance Issues
This release is not just a routine update — it’s a crucial fix for a serious performance issue that affected gamers after the Windows 11 October 2025 update (KB5066835).
Since that Windows update, many Nvidia users experienced a significant drop in gaming performance, in some cases losing nearly half their frame rates. This issue impacted several major titles, including Assassin’s Creed: Shadows. Although Nvidia had previously released a Hotfix to address the problem, version 591.44 WHQL is the first stable driver to fully integrate this correction.
Installing this new version is essential to restore full gaming performance and ensure your PC runs at its best.
Additional Bug Fixes and Improvements
Besides fixing the main performance issue in Windows 11 , the Game Ready 591.44 WHQL driver also includes various other community-reported fixes, such as:
- Improved stability in Battlefield 6.
- Resolved performance problems in Black Myth: Wukong.
- Fixed freezing issues in Adobe Premiere Pro.
Additionally, this driver re-enables 32-bit PhysX support for many classic games when used with RTX 50-series GPUs, preserving PC gaming’s legacy and ensuring these older titles play as intended.
