Game Ready Drivers provide the best possible gaming experience for all major new releases, including Virtual Reality games. Before a new title launch, our driver team is working until the last minute to ensure every performance tweak and bug fix is optimized for the best gameplay on day-1. We have a discussion thread open on this driver here in our Nvidia driver discussion forums.
NVIDIA has released its new GeForce driver version 551.61, which comes with a WHQL certification and introduces the NVIDIA App. This new app merges functionalities from the longstanding NVIDIA Control Panel and the GeForce Experience software, aiming to provide a more integrated and modern user interface. Similar to AMD's Radeon Software, the NVIDIA App allows users to adjust display settings, monitor GPU performance, optimize settings for better performance, and organize their game library. It also streamlines the process of updating both the core drivers and application profiles, covering DLSS and various other technologies.
An important feature of the NVIDIA App is its extensive performance overlay tools. This new Game Ready Driver provides the best gaming experience for the latest new games supporting DLSS 3 technology including Nightingale. In addition, this driver supports the beta release of NVIDIA App, which unifies GeForce Experience and the NVIDIA Control Panel.
