NVIDIA publishes GeForce 621.14 WHQL and prepares DLSS 5 for Hogwarts Legacy and War Thunder

NVIDIA has released the drivers GeForce Game Ready 621.14 WHQLan update prepared for World of Warcraft: Forever and the new Slaughter mode of DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations. The package also adds support for the arrival of DLSS 5 with 3D-Guided Neural Rendering to Hogwarts Legacy and War Thunder.

The version includes two corrections in its notes: the incorrect colors that could appear in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 and the crashes or black screens when playing video on certain GeForce RTX 50 and RTX Spark computers after installing 621.01.

World of Warcraft: Forever and DOOM’s Slaughter Mode

The launch of World of Warcraft: Forever matches the driver release. NVIDIA includes Game Ready optimizations for this title, which builds on the WoW: Classic experience and proposes a revised version of Azeroth.

The other addition is Slaughter Modethe new single-player mode of DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations. It will arrive later this month and will pit the player against waves of increasingly difficult demons in different arenas, with scores and cosmetic rewards.

DLSS 5 comes to Hogwarts Legacy on November 5

Hogwarts Legacy will receive DLSS 5 with 3D-Guided Neural Rendering via an update scheduled for November 5. The 621.14 arrive a day early to prepare for use on compatible equipment.

NVIDIA places this feature on GeForce RTX 50 desktop and laptop computers and RTX Spark PCs. In Hogwarts Legacy it will be activated from the Neural Rendering option in the game settings, once its update is installed.

The announcement describes changes to lighting and material rendering. Avalanche Software has worked with NVIDIA on the model parameters to adjust its application to the game’s settings and characters.

War Thunder will add the technology in mid-November with its Eagle’s Shadow update. The driver is already published, while the rollout of the feature in each game will follow its own schedule.

Fixes for Modern Warfare 4 and video playback

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, the brand has corrected a bug that could cause the game to display incorrect colors. This is the issue identified as 6972531 in this release notes.

General fix affects video playback after updating to Game Ready 621.01. On some GeForce RTX 50 and RTX Spark computers, that version could cause the image to freeze or the screen to go black.

The video failure had already motivated the publication of Hotfix 621.12. 621.14 now includes it among the fixes in a WHQL-certified release, along with support for new games and features.

Download for Windows 10 and Windows 11

The download sheet of 621.14 maintains Windows 10 64-bit and Windows 11 between compatible systems. Its product list includes the GeForce RTX 20, RTX 30, RTX 40 and RTX 50, in addition to the GeForce GTX 16 and TITAN RTX.

Controller compatibility thus spans more generations than the new DLSS 5 feature announced for Hogwarts Legacy and War Thunder. The latter maintains the hardware requirements indicated by NVIDIA for Neural Rendering.

The GeForce Game Ready 621.14 WHQL can now be downloaded from the NVIDIA website and through the NVIDIA App.
