Today, NVIDIA has released a new Game Ready driver (version 551.23) to support the launch of the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER graphics card. As usual, you'll be able to download the driver either via the official website or the GeForce Experience software.
The new Game Ready driver is also optimized for various PC game launches, including the survival action RPG Enshrouded (out today on Steam Early Access), Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (out on Friday), Tekken 8 (also out on Friday), and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League (out on February 2).
Enshrouded supports NVIDIA DLSS 2 (Super Resolution), providing a 93% performance boost at 4K resolution with max settings. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth supports NVIDIA DLSS 3 (Frame Generation), as previously announced. Tekken 8 includes NVIDIA DLSS 2 Super Resolution; in our review of the game, Francesco De Meo had this to say about the game's performance:
Powered by Unreal Engine 5 and having been developed for current generation consoles, Tekken 8 is also among the most demanding fighting games on the market in terms of system specifications. At the same time, the game offers a wealth of graphics settings to tweak to achieve the 60 frames per second required to enjoy it offline and online. Tekken 8 also supports all major upscalers on PC, so even those who don't own an NVIDIA RTX GPU to take advantage of DLSS still get some options in this regard with AMD FSR 2.0 and Intel XeSS. As my system specifications are far above the recommended specs (i7-13700F CPU, RTX 4080 GPU, 32 GB RAM), I had no trouble running the game at 4K resolution with DLSS Quality, ultra settings with 60 FPS in all scenarios.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will launch with support for NVIDIA DLSS 2 Super Resolution, DLAA (Deep Learning Anti-Aliasing), and ray tracing. Additionally, NVIDIA noted that Diablo IV (which already supports DLSS 3 and DLAA) will be updated with ray traced shadows and reflections in March. Today's Game Ready driver also adds one-click optimization via GeForce Experience for Enshrouded and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and support for NVIDIA Ultra Low Latency Mode with DirectX 12 games.
But the biggest surprise is the brand new RTX Video HDR feature. Building upon the work done for RTX Video Super Resolution, this new functionality uses AI to convert any Standard Definition Range (SDR) video played in select Internet browsers to High Definition Range (HDR). RTX Video Super Resolution also started on browsers but later became compatible with VLC, too; hopefully, the same will be true for RTX Video HDR.
