NVIDIA' latest GeForce Game Ready driver lets gamers get Game Ready for the release of Cyberpunk 2077 and the milestone release of Minecraft with RTX for Windows 10.

NVIDIA Game Ready Drivers ensure maximum performance and smooth, trouble-free game play. It also addssupport for new G-SYNC Compatible gaming monitors, and updates for 4 new games that now support DLSS.

Game Ready for Cyberpunk 2077, up to 60% Faster with DLSS

Cyberpunk 2077 launches today, and is loaded with tech including ray-traced shadows, reflections, diffuse illumination, global illumination, and ambient occlusion, along with NVIDIA DLSS. 

Ray tracing enables visually next generation graphics which make Cyberpunk 2077look and feel more cinematic and immersive. Sunlight shadows, global illumination, sky lighting, emissive surfaces and reflections all look strikingly realistic. And DLSS is a must-have feature to play with ray tracing, boosting frame rates while delivering beautiful, crisp image quality.

Enabling DLSS in Cyberpunk 2077 with all RT enabled increases frame rates by up to 60% or more, depending on GPU and resolution.

With realistic shadows and lighting and the added performance of NVIDIA DLSS no other gaming platform will compare to the Cyberpunk 2077 experience on a GeForce RTX-powered PC.

Game Ready for Minecraft with RTX for Windows 10, DLSS Doubles Performance

Minecraft with RTX for Windows 10 has moved from beta to official release. 

Minecraft with RTX supports NVIDIA DLSS, along with path tracing, meaning all the lighting in the game is ray traced. Minecraft with RTX players will see everything enhanced with a special Physically-Based Rendering texture pack in supported worlds, which interplays with the ray-traced effects to further enhance the experience. 

Turning on DLSS can more than double your frame rate!

Five New G-SYNC-Compatible Displays

The G-SYNC-Compatible program expands the G-SYNC ecosystem and aims to bring consistency and educate consumers on which displays will provide a good entry level variable refresh rate (VRR) experience.

The newly-validated monitors are the Acer XV242Y, Acer XB273U NV, Gigabyte FI27Q-X, MSI MAG274R and Philips 275M8RZ giving gamers even more choice when searching for a great gaming display.

Under the G-SYNC Compatible program, NVIDIA works with monitor OEMs to validate the experience on monitors that support the AdaptiveSync protocol. Those that pass are designated as “G-SYNC Compatible”. With today’s additions, the list now totals over 100. For a full listing of G-SYNC Compatible displays, please click here.

In addition, it’s worth noting the release of two new G-SYNC ULTIMATE models from Alienware, who have launched the 27" AW2721D and 38" curved ultrawide AW3821DW.
