Download GeForce 466.74 hotfix drivers. The hotfix addresses fix for crashing Kepler and Turing video cards.

Game Ready Drivers provide the best possible gaming experience for all major new releases, including Virtual Reality games. Prior to a new title launching, our driver team is working up until the last minute to ensure every performance tweak and bug fix is optimized for the best gameplay on day-1. We have a discussion thread open on this driver here in our Nvidia driver discussion forums. For those that wonder, the DCH driver is a Microsoft DCH (Declarative Componentized Hardware supported apps) driver and refers to a new Windows 10 driver package preinstalled by OEMS implementing the Microsoft Universal Driver paradigm. While the base core component files remain the same, the way DCH drivers are packaged differs from previous Legacy (Standard) drivers. We recommend the normal driver and not DCH.

Nvidia has released the GeForce Hotfix Driver 466.74. This driver is based on version 466.63 WHQL and is intended to resolve sporadic crashes of Kepler and Turing video cards. Users who are not affected by this issue do not need to download the optional driver. Specifically, it concerns cards from the GTX 600, 700 and 16 lines, as well as the RTX 2000 models. Remarkably, the Pascal GPUs (GTX 10xx) are not affected. The problem occurs in the form of a bluescreen with the error code DCP Watchdog Violation, which should be solved by this driver.

The hotfix addresses the following issue:
  • [Kepler/Turing]: DCP WATCHDOG VIOLATION error may occur on some systems with GeForce GTX 600/700/16 and GeForce RTX 20 series GPUs [3321668][3321735]

Software Module Versions

  • nView - 201.66 
  • HD Audio Driver - 1.3.38.40 
  • NVIDIA PhysX System Software - 9.19.0218 
  • GeForce Experience - 3.22.0.32 
  • CUDA - 11.3
  • DCH NVIDIA Control Panel - 8.1.960.0

    Seen quite a few that do not seem to understand what hotfix implies.

    And above all, if you DON'T have that specific problem, there is no need to update. Or do some have some kind of updating OCD? :D

    BUT drivers ARE a requirement!


    You're only guaranteed that the on disk driver works.

    Exactly.
    Same can go for WHQL, if you don't play the adressed games nor ran into of the fixed issues there is no need to update, with exception for some games that use lame anti cheat protections that might have been set to check for the latest.

    Never had this problem, and they release a hotfix just to fix one thing, instead of a stable and efficient whql driver ;)


    Well, I had this problem, glad they fixed it but I just reverted back to the previous driver.
