NVIDIA graphics driver (resolution, refresh rate, HDR, G-SYNC)

Unlike the monitor files above, the NVIDIA graphics driver is what actually drives the picture: it negotiates resolution and refresh rate over the cable, manages HDR output, and enables G-SYNC. On any PC with an NVIDIA GPU, this is the driver to keep reasonably current when you are chasing a missing high refresh rate or a sync feature. On a prebuilt or laptop, prefer the OEM's validated build so it matches the panel and firmware in your machine.

A quick read on what this family is and what to expect from its driver package.

How to tell this is what you have

  • Listed as an NVIDIA GPU under Display adapters
  • Controls G-SYNC in the NVIDIA control panel
  • Governs the modes offered to every connected display

Worth knowing: Controls the modes and adaptive-sync features a display can use; keep current for display features and performance.

DriverHub US does not host driver files or bundle an updater. This page documents the NVIDIA graphics driver (resolution, refresh rate, HDR, G-SYNC)family; its citations are selected from the package-source policy recorded for this family.

Package path for NVIDIA graphics driver (resolution, refresh rate, HDR, G-SYNC)

The family record names NVIDIA, or the OEM build on a laptop as the package source. Match the package to the exact NVIDIA graphics driver (resolution, refresh rate, HDR, G-SYNC) device signals on this page and to Windows 10, Windows 11. A family name alone is not enough when the publisher separates packages by model, hardware revision, or PC configuration.

Controls the modes and adaptive-sync features a display can use; keep current for display features and performance.

Shared identification, preparation, installation, verification, and rollback procedures are maintained on the complete monitors & displays guide, rather than repeated on every family page. The citations below follow this family’s declared vendor, Windows, PC-maker, or motherboard-maker source policy.

Samsung

Samsung monitor driver & ICC profile (Odyssey, ViewFinity, Smart Monitor)

This is Samsung's per-model monitor identity and color package for its Odyssey gaming, ViewFinity productivity, and Smart Monitor lines. The INF tells Windows which resolutions and refresh rates the panel supports, while the profile sets its intended color. Install it when Windows is missing a mode your Samsung display should offer, but remember that the high refresh rate and any adaptive sync are delivered by your GPU driver, not this file.

ASUS

ASUS monitor driver & ICC profile (ProArt, ROG, TUF, VG series)

ASUS spans very different display audiences, from color-accurate ProArt panels to fast ROG and TUF gaming screens, and each ships an INF and factory ICC profile keyed to its model. The ProArt profiles in particular target wide-gamut accuracy out of the box, which matters for creative work. Install the file for your exact ASUS model to expose its full mode list and factory color, then rely on the GPU driver for the refresh rate and sync features the panel advertises.

Acer

Acer monitor driver & ICC profile (Predator, Nitro, CB/CBA series)

Acer's monitor files cover its Predator and Nitro gaming displays and its CB and CBA productivity screens, providing the INF and color profile each panel expects. The gaming models often push high refresh rates that Windows may not offer until the correct identity file is present. Download the package for your specific Acer model so the supported modes appear, and keep the graphics driver current for the sync and HDR behavior the display supports.

MSI

MSI monitor driver & ICC profile (Optix, MAG, MPG displays)

MSI publishes monitor identity and color files for its Optix, MAG, and MPG display ranges, mostly gaming-oriented panels with high refresh rates and curved formats. The INF helps ensure Windows reads the full mode list, and the profile sets the factory color starting point. Match the file to your exact MSI model, and turn to the GPU driver rather than this package when you need the panel's adaptive sync or top refresh rate to engage.

Gigabyte

Gigabyte / AORUS monitor driver & ICC profile

Gigabyte and its AORUS gaming brand offer monitor INF and ICC files that report each panel's supported resolutions and refresh rates and its intended color. These are worth installing when a Gigabyte display should offer a mode that Windows is not presenting. As with all monitor files, the picture in motion, meaning refresh rate and adaptive sync, comes from your graphics driver, so keep that current alongside the identity package.

Dell

Dell monitor driver & ICC profile (UltraSharp, S/G series)

Dell's monitor files cover the color-focused UltraSharp line and the S and G series aimed at general and gaming use. UltraSharp panels ship with strong factory color, and the accompanying ICC profile helps preserve it. Look up your monitor's model on Dell's support site to download the INF and factory profile, then use the GPU driver for the refresh rate, HDR, and sync features the specific panel provides.
