As new software is released from Adobe and other companies, though, we might see them starting to run much more efficiently using the CRD vs the GRD. That is not to say that there won’t ever be a big performance increase in creative applications, but right now there doesn’t seem to be a definitive way to test it against the GRD to back up Nvidia’s performance claims. A lot of software, like Premiere Pro, is still primarily based on CPU performance, not the GPU, so it’s difficult to really know what methods they used.Īccording to PCGamesN, there isn’t that much performance difference between the new CRD vs the Game Ready Drivers (GRD), but that the CRD should offer more overall stability – a valuable feature to creatives who don’t want their graphics card & software to crash and reset in the middle of working. So we don’t know if these tests are based on the everyday operation of the software, or very specific tasks that just happened to perform particularly well with the new drivers. Puget Systems tested the new 4.19.67 CRDs against four previous versions of the regular drivers, and the performance seemed mostly similar between all of them. Advertisementsįrom looking at this performance report from Puget Systems, though, it’s difficult to really corroborate the performance claims, as Nvidia hasn’t stated exactly what the software was doing in order to present these performance gains. While they don’t give specific numbers for the others, they say it also provides an “optimal experience” for Autodesk Arnold, Unreal Engine 4.22, Redcine-X Pro, Adobe Lightroom (presumably they mean Classic CC) and Substance Designer (at least, since Adobe bought it).

Nvidia says that the Creator Ready Driver releases are “timed to key creative application updates, ensuring the best compatibility and performance for those who depend on PCs for their creative work”. The drivers are already available to download and install on my GTX 1050 powered laptops
