REFERENCE · RELEASES · CHECKED ON NPI 3.0.2.1
Every NVIDIA Profile Inspector version, explained
The newest stable NVIDIA Profile Inspector is 3.0.2.1 (5 Jul 2026) and the newest pre-release is 3.0.2.3 (13 Oct 2026). Version 3.0 (March 2026) rebuilt the app with a new interface; the last 2.x builds are 2.4.0.31 (stable) and 2.4.0.34 (pre-release). Older builds such as 2.4.0.4 still start, but they lack the DLSS override, Smooth Motion and newer Resizable BAR settings.

We never host NPI. Both buttons open GitHub. Hashes measured on 8 Nov 2026 from the official release assets; they equal the SHA-256 GitHub shows next to each asset.
Both builds start and show the full interface in our lab, in NPI’s demo mode on a PC without an NVIDIA GPU. LAB · UI · F07, F12 What the settings do on a real driver is covered on the pages for each setting.
Timeline
Each dot is a GitHub release: filled for stable, hollow for pre-release. Select one to read what it changed. The tool was split out of the older NVIDIA Inspector in 2016 and its first tag dates from March 2016; releases before 2019 only exist as git tags, so they have no dot.

How many settings NPI names, by release
By our count of the source file, NPI's list of named settings grew from 68 entries in 2.4.0.4 (2023) to 117 in 3.0.2.3, most of it in 2025 when the DLSS and Smooth Motion entries arrived.
Settings named in CustomSettingNames.xml at each release (higher means more settings explained by name)

All releases
All 48 GitHub releases and the 22 version tags that never got a release page. The .NET column follows the project file at each version. The count is the number of settings named in NPI’s common list at that tag.
| 3.0.2.3 | 2026-10-13 | pre-release | 4.8 | 117 | Settings-data refresh by Warkratos: CustomSettingNames.xml gains DLSS-NR version text and new rBAR entries (incl. a driver-616 'rBAR - Enable v2' and a DLSS Streamline override), plus a DlssHelper tweak so the DLSS-NR model version can be shown. | GitHub |
| 3.0.2.2 | 2026-07-16 | pre-release | 4.8 | 115 | Small follow-up to the first stable 3.x build: two new troubleshooting switches (-useSoftwareRendering, -disableTransparency) for rendering problems reported in #488, and a better searchable combo box (#489). | GitHub |

Releases with the channel “tag only” exist as git tags (often created by the build automation) without a download on GitHub. Try to download them and you get an error page, so do not rely on them.
How NPI version numbers work
The version has four numbers, such as 3.0.2.1. The last number goes up with every build: NPI’s build automation increases it and publishes the result as a GitHub pre-release. The developers then promote a build they trust to Latest. CODE · NPI 2994194 That is why 2026 has so many releases: the 3.x rewrite shipped as 13 pre-releases between March and June before 3.0.2.1 became the first stable one. A higher last number therefore says nothing about quality; the Latest tag on GitHub does.
Which version should you use?
| If you | Use | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Run current Windows and a current NVIDIA driver | Latest stable (3.0.2.1) | It has the 3.x interface and the full DLSS override list, and the developers promoted it. |
| Need a setting added after the stable build | Latest pre-release (3.0.2.3) | For example the newer Resizable BAR value, "rBAR - Enable v2", and the DLSS-NR version text first appear in the 3.0.2.x pre-releases. |
| Are on Windows 7 or a very old driver | A 2.x build, with caveats | The 2.4 line targets older .NET versions. Expect a missing settings list and no way to see newer driver settings. |
| Follow a guide that names 2.4.0.4 | Latest stable | You will not find the DLSS and Smooth Motion rows in 2.4.0.4, and the windows are different. Our guides show the 3.x window. |
2.4.0.4 and other old versions
NPI 2.4.0.4 (26 Mar 2023)
The version most old guides name. It was the stable 2.4 build for almost two years. It names 84 settings in its own -createCSN export (F11), has no DLSS override rows and predates Smooth Motion. Its zip is 148,995 bytes with SHA-256 9dc8f944dc55c0eca9bb939b1c756a093f8250b6d9db76319bf27ef5fbe4cb83. It targets .NET Framework 4.8.

NPI 2.4.0.29 (6 Aug 2025)
The last 2.x build GitHub lists as a pre-release before the January 2026 stable roll-ups. It shows the DLSS override DLL version in the dropdown. Its zip is 168,798 bytes with SHA-256 75201c28f08da35efa712a816f3e92cb9d0cf76b40dc733323b042352c6e639e, and it targets .NET Framework 4.8.1, so a PC with only 4.8 can fail to start it.
LAB · SAFETY · F01, F04 The 2.4.0.30 and 2.4.0.31 builds went back to 4.8; 2.4.0.31 (15 Jan 2026) is the last stable 2.x build.
NPI 2.3.0.13 (19 Jan 2021)
A pre-release that updated the settings data for NVIDIA driver branch R460 and removed deprecated entries. It is the last 2.3 build and has no Resizable BAR options, which arrived in 2.4.0.2. Its release notes mention nothing about newer drivers, so on a current driver treat it as a curiosity.

Questions people ask
What is the latest version of NVIDIA Profile Inspector?
The latest stable release is 3.0.2.1, published on 5 Jul 2026. The newest pre-release is 3.0.2.3, published on 13 Oct 2026. Both come only from the Releases page of NPI's GitHub repository.
Is NVIDIA Profile Inspector 3.0 stable?
Version 3.0 arrived as a series of pre-releases in March 2026. The first build the developers promoted to Latest was 3.0.2.1 on 5 Jul 2026, so 3.0.2.1 and anything you download as stable from GitHub is the stable 3.x line.
Why are most releases marked pre-release?
NPI's build automation publishes every build as a pre-release, and a person promotes a build to Latest by hand. Of 48 GitHub releases, 32 are pre-releases and 16 are stable.
Should I use NVIDIA Profile Inspector 2.4.0.4?
Only if you have a reason. 2.4.0.4 names 84 settings according to its own -createCSN export, against 119 in 3.0.2.3, and it has none of the DLSS override or Smooth Motion entries. Use the latest stable release on current drivers.
What is version 3.5.0.0?
It is not a newer NVIDIA Profile Inspector. Some download portals list 3.5.0.0 for an unrelated 2020 fork. The official line is 3.0.2.x.
