Nvidia releases a critical GPU driver update to fix multiple security vulnerabilities
Nvidia has released a critical GPU driver update to address eight security flaws that could allow attackers with local access to execute malicious code. The vulnerabilities affect consumer GeForce GPUs as well as Nvidia RTX, Quadro, NVS, and Tesla products. The latest driver updates resolve all of these issues, any updates version 553.62 or newer, or 539.19 and above are good to go, depending on the driver branch you are using.
RTX 5090 early benchmarks show underwhelming performance uplift over the RTX 4090
Coming to a store near you later this month
Something to look forward to: Nvidia announced next-gen RTX 50 series graphics cards earlier this month at CES 2025. While gamers are still waiting for the official launch, early benchmarks appear to suggest that the RTX 5090 will see only a moderate performance boost over its predecessor, the RTX 4090. For a full understanding of how the RTX 5090 performs in popular games, wait for our exhaustive review later this week.
