Nvidia Game Ready Driver vs Studio Driver (GRD vs SD)

Recommended Posts

I found what there is two types of drivers by Nvidia is available for my video processor: Game Ready Driver (GRD) and Studio Driver (SD). But what's the difference between the two drivers?

Will the Studio Driver driver provide any noticeable performance boost in Adobe Premiere Pro comparing to Game Ready Driver driver?

This is what Sean Pelletier from Nvidia says:

Quote

Game Ready Driver release cadence dictated by game calendar, Studio Driver by creative app calendar. Feature parity between both — though GRD will get game-relevant changes first (more frequent releases). SD will get creative app-relevant changes first.

So if you're not playing games and you're working in creative software you'd better choose Studio Driver, because it will give performance improvements for your apps before they will be available in Game Ready Driver, for example in one of updates CR performance boost was:

  • Up to 13% in Blender Cycles
  • Up to 9% in Adobe Photoshop CC
  • Up to 9% in Adobe Premiere Pro CC
  • Up to 8% in CINEMA 4D
