The company did not say which issues were fixed.
Nvidia has released a new version of the driver for its video cards running under the Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 operating systems. This is a security update that fixes some issues in driver version 474.89.
Nvidia did not specify which vulnerabilities were fixed in the new driver. Although the company has stopped fully releasing drivers supporting Windows 7, 8, and 8.1, Nvidia will continue to fix critical bugs in drivers for these systems for several months.
Support for Windows 7 is planned to be completely discontinued in September 2024, support for Windows 8 and 8.1 will be discontinued at a later date.
Nvidia still recommends that users remaining on Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 upgrade to more modern operating systems. Currently, the company releases full-fledged drivers for only two versions of Windows: 10 and 11.
At the same time, an updated driver for video cards based on the Kepler architecture was released. This is also a security update: owners of cards from the GeForce GTX 600 and GTX 700 families should install it.
