What happened

They first shared their creation, called NvidiaWatch , in late September and then released an update on the r/Nvidia subreddit earlier this week. The creator also added a chart that tracks the number of known issues that were fixed during that release, fixed in a later release, remained open, and those that were carried over from an earlier driver release. NVIDIA is a semiconductor company based in Santa Clara.

independent-arg built this labor of love for the Nvidia community. A GitHub programmer has created an Nvidia bug tracker page that compiles each driver update’s release notes and feedback threads on the forums, logging progress on 462 different driver bugs.

The programmer said that each bug gets its own page, meaning anyone affected by it could easily track if the latest driver update has already solved the issue. Each driver update also gets a dedicated page that contains the release notes, fixed bugs, and open issues that Nvidia couldn’t address yet.
