Nvidia also wants to protect you from meltdown and specter
Table of contents:
Graphics cards are totally immune to Meltdown and Specter vulnerabilities, however this does not mean that they cannot help in any way to protect users. New drivers released by Nvidia include the ability to protect users from these two very serious security issues.
Nvidia protects you from Specter with its latest driver
The latest Nvidia Game Ready driver comes with news related to Fortnite, FreeStyle, Ansel, ShadowPlay Highlights, Crossout and Elex. The graphics giant cares about its users and that is why it has also included in its graphics cards a security patch that is responsible for mitigating the Meltdown and Specter vulnerabilities.
All modern processors are susceptible to Meltdown and Specter vulnerabilities
This is especially important for Specter, since unlike Meltdown, it is a much more difficult security breach to fix by updating the operating system. Nvidia has realized that its GPUs can protect the user and has not hesitated to add this new feature.
This has been made possible by the way the graphics card driver interacts with the operating system kernel. Let's hope AMD does the same and adds protection to its Radeon Crimson Adrenalin drivers.
