CUDA Toolkit release tracker: versions, dates, and material changes

Find the version first. Then separate what the NVIDIA archive lists, what release notes changed, and what still requires a compatibility check.

CUDA 13.4.1

General releaseLatest listedChange notes indexed

Current documentary answer: NVIDIA lists this as the latest release at the research cutoff. That does not certify support or compatibility for a specific system.

Reviewed material changes

release status changed

13.4.1 is GA, not Update 1

13.4.1 supersedes 13.4.0 developer preview; the third digit identifies a build.

Boundary: Historical scope at this release; do not infer current support or all-workload compatibility.

[31]

feature preview

Rubin support remains preview

Vera Rubin support is developer preview inside the general CUDA 13.4 release.

Boundary: NVIDIA excludes benchmarking, performance analysis and production deployment for this preview.

[31]

feature added

Windows on Arm on RTX Spark

CUDA 13.4 adds Windows on Arm support for RTX Spark devices.

Boundary: The cited Windows driver requirement is 616.41 or later. Do not generalize to every Windows Arm system.

[31]

packaging changed

Linux driver packaging separates

Linux driver no longer bundled starting CUDA 13.4.

Boundary: Windows start-version documentation conflicts and is recorded separately. No installation automation supplied.

[31]

packaging changed

R615 Linux kernel-module packaging changes

Separate R615 packages omit proprietary kernel modules on supported Linux systems.

Boundary: This does not make every NVIDIA software component open source or establish support for older GPUs.

Family floors are a starting point, not a verdict

These documentary floors apply within defined compatibility models. PTX, newer features, operating systems, libraries, and hardware can require a later driver.

CUDA family compatibility-floor reference
Toolkit family	Branch floor	Linux x86_64	Windows x86_64	Important boundary
CUDA 11.x	R450	450.80.02	452.39	450 alone is not the exact full-family floor. Drivers beyond the interval can use backward compatibility; not an upper compatibility prohibition.
CUDA 12.x	R525	525.60.13	527.41	PTX, newer features, hardware and libraries can require later drivers. R580 and later are not disallowed merely by the minor-compatibility interval.
CUDA 13.x	R580	Not asserted	Not asserted	No universal exact OS build floor asserted. New CUDA 13.4 features/platforms require a supporting R615+ driver; RTX Spark Windows uses 616.41+.

Dataset scope, citation, and stopping condition

Dataset version: 2026-09-11.1 · Research cutoff: 2026-09-11 · Records: 70.

Scope: All 62 CUDA 11.x–13.4.1 archive entries observed at cutoff; eight selected earlier release milestones; selected consequential changes, representative GPU mappings and scoped library relationships.

Rights: Original selection, normalisation and explanatory text. NVIDIA documents remain third-party works; source URLs are not licences.

Stop here when: you only needed the release label, listed month, or source. Continue to compatibility documentation before changing a driver, toolkit, runtime, framework, or deployment.
