Very interested into what this could bring to the table... " This Game Ready Driver also includes significant DirectX 12 performance optimizations which can dramatically improve performance for GeForce 30 Series GPUs." will install these later and find out.

NVIDIA’s new driver enables “substantial” DirectX12 performance improvements for GeForce RTX GPUs Very nice..

Nope, they want you to buy the 4090
But the optimizations are for the 30 series.

How much these drivers change the comparison between, for example, a 4090 and a 3090Ti ? For example, in 3DMark TimeSpy: A 4090 MSI Suprim X is 36002 A 3090Ti MSI Suprim X is 21737 So a 4090 is 65% faster in 3DMark Timespy. Would these drivers (when used to benchmark both cards) substantially decrease the difference in percentage between a 3090Ti and a 4090?

IMhO it's for all RTX & GTX capable GPUs.
Tried these on Hitman 3, DX12. No gains.

Installed fine, upgrade. No need for restart. Shader cache will need to rebuild. Martix Demo & Petra UE5 working great, some uplift noted. Next will be some BF2042 & FH5 as usuall. UPD.1 BF2042 working great, now needs for the same FPS ~5tW less 😉 (Flat line as always).

FineWine™ Today, NVIDIA released Game Ready driver 522.25, which mainly adds support for the new GeForce RTX 4090 and day-one optimization for upcoming titles like Scorn (out in two days), A Plague Tale: Requiem (out in six days), Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection (out in seven days), and Gotham Knights (out in nine days). However, NVIDIA also has a surprise in store for existing GeForce RTX owners. The new Game Ready driver delivers substantial DirectX 12 performance improvements in several games, such as: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: up to 24% (1080p) Battlefield 2042: up to 7% (1080p) Borderlands 3: Up to 8% (1080p) Call of Duty: Vanguard: up to 12% (4K) Control: up to 6% (4K) Cyberpunk 2077: up to 20% (1080p) F1 22: up to 17% (4K) Far Cry 6: up to 5% (1440p) Forza Horizon 5: up to 8% (1080P) Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition: up to 8% (4k) Red Dead Redemption 2: up to 7% (1080p) Shadow of the Tomb Raider: up to 5% (1080p) Tom Clancy’s The Division 2: up to 5% (1080p) Watch Dogs: Legion: up to 9% (1440p) NVIDIA provided benchmark slides for three of the most popular titles in the above list: Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Cyberpunk 2077, and Forza Horizon 5.

I would love to see the actual numbers of say Who plays COD Vanguard, at 4K res, who are uber excited at this. Not to poo poo the gains they make, but i'm gonna guess the Bulk of people playing that are at most 2K res users, so they basically get diddly squat, but lets boast those numbers... 🙂

No as the reviewers had access to these drivers when doing the RTX 4090 reviews.
