vidia wants everyone to know
that those nifty graphics features
AMD and Intel have been touting
are cute, but watch this. At
Gamescom in mid-August, Nvidia dropped
the Gamescom Game Ready driver, a massive
update (go.pcworld.com/msup) that:- Increases frame rates by as much as 23
percent in some games - Decreases the mouse click–to–reaction
latency in games - Adds integer scaling
- Allows you to personalize image
sharpening
The bread and butter of the driver are
performance improvements for Apex
Legends, Battlefield V, Forza Horizon, Strange
Brigade and World War Z. Performance
improvements vary by game, resolution and
GPU, but the buffs seem fairly decent, with
most of the improvements in the double-digit
range.
