NVIDIA released a new Game Ready driver today, version 398.11, available via the GeForce website and the GeForce Experience software. This driver is optimized for Vampyr, the action RPG developed by Dontnod Entertainment and launched today and the Jurassic World Evolution park management game made by Frontier Developments and due next week. Furthermore, the driver also 'ensures the best possible gaming experience on HDR-capable G-SYNC displays', though we're not entirely sure what that means in practice.
