BEWARE Latest Nvidia GTX 591.44 Drivers

me_again schrieb am 05.12.2025 um 14:09 Uhr

Greetings All,

Installed the Nvidia graphics driver 591.44 (591.44-desktop-win10-win11-64bit-international-dch-whql) earlier today. Just tried to export a video and MS 2025 says "please update to latest graphics driver" (or words to that effect) and there was NO hardware encoding.

Tried several times with different projects, the same result.

\re-installed the drivers (didn't uninstall the new ones first), the same result.

Over wrote the new drivers with the previous version 581.80 and hardware encoding is available and useable.

Not tried the Studio Driver 591.44 version.

Hi @all,

I just successfully exported a 25-minute clip in AV1 with ProX17 using the active hardware encoding and the installed Nvidia graphics driver 591.44 Studio on my Windows 11 PC. Therefore, I think this driver should be fine, and the blanket warning in the title of this thread doesn't seem entirely accurate.

Just my 2 cents,
Manfred

@Manfred-von-Erlangen

I haven't tried the Studio driver version. It works for you but I'm not going to risk it. I did mention in the original post I'd not tried the studio drivers.

@johnebaker

HEVC, H264, AV1 various presets for each.

There is a lot of adverse comments on the Nvidia forum regarding the game version of 591.44 with games being slower and black screens etc. It appears from @Manfred-von-Erlangen's comment that the studio drivers work in Pro X17.

All I know is it doesn't work in my MS 2025, hence the topic title starting with the word BEWARE and is therefore accurate.

I'm not saying don't use it.

@Manfred-von-Erlangen

When your 25 minute was encoding, did the window actually say hardware encoding?

Driver 591.44 encodes OK but the window does not mention hardware encoding just the "please update driver..."

Incidentally, I tried the Srudio Drivers in my MS 2025 and still no hardware encoding with my RTX 4060. Reverted back to 581.80 and all is well.
