After releasing the Game Ready graphics driver version 546.01, Nvidia has now published the Studio driver with the same version, i.e. 546.01. Additionally, Nvidia has also published two drivers to different branches for the RTX Enterprise users, where one offers new features and improvements as they are available, and the other one offers more stability with fewer updates.
The Studio driver 546.01 also offers some fixes along with security updates. However, the RTX Enterprise 546.01 and RTX Enterprise 537.70 only offer security patches.
This guide provides the direct download links for all 3 of these driver updates, as well as important information on what each of these offers.

What is RTX Enterprise New Feature Branch (R545), Production Branch (R535)
Before proceeding to download the driver for your hardware and environment, you must learn the differences between them. While you may already know the difference between a Game Ready and a Studio driver, the content of the 2 branches of the RTX Enterprise releases is slightly different.
Release 535, or R535 is the latest Production Branch release of the NVIDIA RTX Enterprise drivers. Production Branch drivers are recommended for enterprise deployment, certification with professional applications, and users seeking the latest support for NVIDIA Studio features.
In contrast, the Release 545, or R545 drivers are the New Feature Branch (NFB) drivers. These drivers provide users the flexibility to try new features made available outside the launch cycle of longer-lived Production Branch drivers. NFB drivers are tested for workstation environments and are recommended for early adopter users who need specific features mentioned in the release highlights or release notes.
