The developer of The Last of Us, Naughty Dog, is recommending that owners of 30-series graphics cards install this driver immediately. The studio also released a new hotfix for the game today that squashes further bugs and could help the many players still facing crashes, low performance, and other issues.
Those not encountering the issues listed, or who are simply not playing the games, do not have to update to this hotfix. The fixes should be included in the next official WHQL Game Ready driver by Nvidia, alongside the usual game optimizations and feature updates.
