GeForce Hotfix Driver Version 496.98


GeForce Hotfix Driver Version 496.98 | NVIDIA

And this driver from Guru3D…

Two hot-fix driver’s released on the same day, both with different driver numbers. One from Guru3D and one from Nvidia. How confusing! I wonder if there was an error in the transposition of the last two numbers, either that or I am missing something here? I would download the Nvidia driver 496.98 from the first link at the top of this post in blue bold font.

Update: Guru3D have made a transposition error on their website. When downloaded, both drivers have the same driver number 496.98!
