NVIDIA has released Game Ready Driver 610.47 WHQL for Windows 10 and 11, kicking off the new Release 610 driver branch. This release delivers Game Ready optimizations for several new titles, patches long-standing bugs across gaming and general applications, and ships CUDA 13.3 support alongside an upgraded OpenCL compiler.
Here is a full breakdown of what is new, what got fixed, and how to get the driver on your system.
What Is NVIDIA Game Ready Driver 610.47?
Driver 610.47 is the first release in the Release 610 family, which covers versions 610.xx through 614.xx. NVIDIA published the release on May 26, 2026, targeting desktop and laptop GPUs from the Turing generation onward.
The previous driver in the chain was version 596.49. This release replaces all prior driver notes for that version and documents every change from that point forward.
Game Ready Titles in Driver 610.47
The headline feature of this release is Game Ready support for four new titles:
- 007 First Light (launched May 27, 2026): DLSS and RTX optimizations are now active for IO Interactive’s latest game.
- LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight (launched May 22, 2026): Game Ready profile included from day one.
- EA SPORTS F1 25: 2026 Season Pack: Updated profile for the latest season content.
- World of Tanks: HEAT: Game Ready optimizations added for this update.
Game Ready Drivers deliver day-one support for new releases, meaning NVIDIA tests and validates performance on retail builds before launch.
What Is New in Release 610
Beyond game profiles, the 610 branch introduces two notable platform-level changes:
CUDA 13.3 Support: Driver 610.47 ships with CUDA 13.3, making it a requirement for developers using the latest CUDA toolkit features on Windows.
NVIDIA OpenCL Compiler Upgrade: NVIDIA has replaced the older OpenCL Just-In-Time compiler based on Clang 3.4 with a new Clang and NVVM 7.0 compiler. The upgrade brings 16-bit floating point (half) type support, 128-bit integer types, and upgraded built-in math libraries aligned with CUDA C++. Starting with 610.47, this new compiler is the default for all OpenCL workloads on Windows.
Developers migrating from the older compiler should review the Clang 4 through Clang 7 public release notes, as the new compiler enforces stricter error checking. Code that assigned values to const variables, used non-global address spaces in kernel pointer parameters, or relied on variadic arguments may now throw errors that the previous compiler silently ignored.
Bug Fixes in Driver 610.47
Gaming Bug Fixes
Driver 610.47 resolves four confirmed gaming bugs:
- Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth: Shadow and light flickering that appeared after a previous driver update is now resolved.
- Enshrouded: Missing terrain geometry that appeared after a driver update is fixed.
- Godot Engine Games: Visual corruption that appeared in certain games built on the Godot engine has been corrected.
- Multimonitor V-SYNC: Stability improvements for gaming across multiple monitors while V-SYNC is active.
General Application Bug Fixes
Four non-gaming bugs have also been resolved in this release:
- Adobe Lightroom Classic: Application stability issues that caused crashes or unexpected behavior are fixed.
- Autodesk Forma: A memory leak that occurred during camera orbit when OpenGL was in use has been patched.
- Apple Studio Display XDR: A bug causing the display to output only 480p after a driver update is now corrected.
- Samsung The Frame: An issue where enabling the display’s Game mode disabled key display functionality has been resolved.
Known Issues in This Release
Driver 610.47 ships with one confirmed open issue:
- On certain laptops, the “Prefer Maximum Performance” Power Management Mode may not apply correctly. NVIDIA is tracking this under bug ID 6007998.
Additionally, two application-level behaviors apply to all driver versions in this branch:
- Fixed Frame Rate Games: Some games and applications run at a fixed frame rate and do not use NVIDIA G-Sync. To prevent conflicts, the driver may disable G-Sync for those applications automatically.
- NVIDIA Control Panel from the Windows Store: You may encounter installation issues when downloading the NVIDIA Control Panel from the Windows Store. Downloads may freeze at the starting stage, or the panel may fail to download after driver installation completes.

How to Download NVIDIA Driver 610.47
You can get driver 610.47 through two official channels:
NVIDIA Website: Go to nvidia.com, navigate to the Drivers section, select your GPU and operating system, and download the 610.47 WHQL package.
NVIDIA App: Open the NVIDIA app on your system. The app should surface the 610.47 update automatically under the Drivers tab.
Installation Steps:
- Download the driver installer from the NVIDIA website or the NVIDIA app.
- Run the installer and choose an extraction path when prompted.
- Accept the License Agreement at the start of the NVIDIA Installer.
- Follow the on-screen steps to complete installation.
The installer requires approximately 1.5x the download size in free disk space to extract temporary files. If you see a “Navigation to the webpage was cancelled” message during installation, ignore it. It does not affect the outcome and disappears once you clear the browser cache.
Do not use Windows Device Manager to uninstall NVIDIA drivers. Microsoft confirmed this behavior removes the driver entry but leaves associated files behind. Use Windows Add and Remove Programs for a clean uninstall if you need to roll back.
