New Realtek Audio Driver
« on: May 11, 2018, 10:22:48 pm »
Hi everyone,

I noticed a new audio driver 8433 for my motherboard Z270N Gaming 5 and others. It says RS3/RS4 supported? Also, it's only 24.45 MB whereas previous drivers are 200-300MB. Is it worth installing? Why so small?

Why so small??

The latest driver supports RedStone 3 and 4 Windows 10 builds which probably includes native support for Realtek chips..  because of this, a full drivers release is not needed.
