Nvidia has released a brand-new Game Ready Driver with support and optimizations for new titles such as Ghostwire Tokyo, and many more features such as adding DLAA to three new games, in addition to expanding their lineup of G-Sync displays. The optimizations for Ghostwire: Tokyo include ray-traced reflections, in addition to supporting DLSS to get the most amount of performance out of your system while still ensuring that the game looks fantastic, to boot.
Ghostwire Tokyo releases on March 25, so these drivers will already be prepared for when the game finally launches, meaning that you’re going to get the best possible experience with all of the beautiful bells and whistles. The streets of Tokyo aren’t going to look as good without those beautiful ray-traced reflections, and an up to 2x performance uplift when using DLSS to ensure that the game looks fantastic even when running at high-resolutions. You can check out our review of Ghostwire Tokyo here.
Veritable boomer shooter Shadow Warrior 3 also gets game-ready enhancements, meaning that you’ll be able to play the game perfectly, too. But, that’s not all for this driver update, which also includes a number of fixes and enhancements across the board for Nvidia.
Fixes and tweaks in Geforce Game Ready Driver 512.15
As ever, Nvidia also includes several tweaks and application or hardware-based fixes into these driver updates, so you can expect to find a handful of these fairly niche issues fixed in the latest driver, or highlighting some issues when running certain titles. Sonic & All-Stars Racing has popped up in most of these issues in the previous driver update posts that we’ve uploaded, so it’s interesting to see how they’ve not really managed to fix it yet. Regardless, it is heartening to see that if you’re looking for support for the latest games, that Nvidia ensures that everything gets up and running ahead of time, especially now that GPU stock is becoming easier to find.
