I noticed that recently as well. The last time I downloaded an Nvidia driver, it was 500+ GB closing it on 600. Now its passed 700GB.

Or you can just use Windows Update...

the release note information page 31




I am guessing another reasons was the increase requirement of DLSS code in the driver files getting more complicated.

500gb? Did it take hours to download?

MB or GB?

I myself was confused. 500gb or 700gb is like 10x the size of Call of Duty lol! Even my prawn size is only 150GB. This doesn't add up.
