NVIDIA STUDIO DRIVERS
GPUs used to be easily discernible as either gaming cards or creativeuse cards, but those lines are blurred these days. Nvidia offers some of its cards the ability to use its studio drivers, which work differently from the standard consumer ones, making the GPU more suited for DCCs like 3D rendering and animation. There’s no extra cost for this, but it does make a difference when using the GPU in this context, so well worth exploring.
