The 546.31 driver builds upon the Game Ready 546.29 release from the previous day. NVIDIA has swiftly responded to two issues impacting Discord and V-Sync users within less than 24 hours of the initial release. For gamers utilizing Discord for streaming, there was an observation of muted colors with the latest Game Ready driver. This particular issue has now been resolved with the introduction of the Hotfix.

Another issue that was addressed is the stutter when using V-Sync. This issue is more likely to impact the larger playerbase as V-Sync is still quite popular on systems that do not have any variable synchronization.

GeForce Hotfix Driver Version 546.31

• [Discord] When streaming gameplay, colors may appear muted [4349586]
• Intermittent stutter may be observed when V-SYNC is enabled [4379096]
