NVIDIA has released its latest GeForce Graphics Drivers 610.47 WHQL today, introducing significant changes for consumer PC users. With this driver update, NVIDIA is retiring its Control Panel for GeForce Game Ready and Studio Drivers after 20 years of service. Starting with this version, users will find the Control Panel completely removed from their system after a clean installation. Those updating from older drivers to the newest version will need to remove the Control Panel manually. Interestingly, NVIDIA notes that despite officially dropping support with this release, the Control Panel will still be available for download through the Microsoft Store for anyone who needs it to adjust a few settings. From NVIDIA's side, there will no longer be any feature updates, bug fixes, or maintenance for this software. However, enterprise users will retain access to the Control Panel for a few more update cycles, as RTX PRO GPU users on their driver branch will continue to receive support.

The company is migrating all Control Panel functionality to the NVIDIA App, meaning that even professional users of RTX PRO GPUs will eventually transition to the NVIDIA App once enterprise features are enabled. In other related updates, the GeForce Graphics Drivers 610.47 WHQL also includes an updated CUDA version, now running v13.3, and game-ready support for "007 First Light," "LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight," "EA SPORTS F1 25: 2026 Season Pack," and "World of Tanks: HEAT." This driver release also addresses some general bug fixes, such as improving multi-monitor gaming stability when using V-SYNC, although issues with power management for mobile GPUs on Windows remain.
