Nvidia released a new driver for its GPU cards. Titled 516.59, the Game Ready driver provides the best day-0 gaming experience for F1 22 and utilizes NVIDIA DLSS to maximize performance and features for high-fidelity ray-traced effects. Furthermore, this game-ready driver includes support for the latest releases and updates, including Loopmancer and Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.
The driver also provides fixes for Red Dead Redemption, mending the Vulkan rendering API, which was causing objects to flicker when players are indoors. The Minecraft Java edition no longer displays artifacts using Optifine shaders, and Path of Exile no longer displays flashing black textures. Without further ado, below, you can find the complete driver changelog.
