As promised and detailed earlier, Nvidia has released its newest Geforce 417.71 WHQL graphics driver which brings support for the Geforce RTX 2060 graphics cards as well as brings the so-called G-Sync Compatible Support, or VESA Adaptive Sync support on some monitors.

According to the release notes, the Geforce 417.71 WHQL driver is the launch driver for Geforce RTX 2060, the least expensive in the RTX series, as well as bringing promised G-Sync Compatible Support, or support for VESA Adaptive Sync (AMD FreeSync), which will be enabled by default on some monitors.

Currently, there is a handful of monitors that have passed Nvidia's rigorous testing, and the support is limited to single monitors.
