OptiX release notes for drivers 431.02(win)/430.26(linux) released 2019 June 10, since 418.81(win)/418.30(linux) February 2019.
Because OptiX is now getting maintenance releases with every driver update every few weeks, we will begin posting release notes here to the forum, as requested by several of you. Since this is the first one, today’s release notes span multiple driver updates since February. For future release notes, we will keep it limited to individual driver updates.
Release notes for changes to the OptiX API & SDK will still be included in the SDK. These driver update release notes represent bug fixes and backward compatible feature updates in addition to the notes on API version changes included with the OptiX SDK.
