New Game Ready Driver Optimized for Half-Life: Alyx Released by NVIDIA

Another Game Ready driver has been released by NVIDIA, only days after the one that came out for DOOM Eternal's launch. This latest Game Ready driver, version 445.75, is all about optimization for Valve's highly anticipated VR-only game Half-Life: Alyx, which debuts later today on Steam.

There's more, though, as the Game Ready driver is also optimized for Resident Evil 3, the latest Ghost Recon Breakpoint immersive mode update, and updates DLSS to version 2.0 in Control and MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries. Furthermore, a new monitor has been added to the G-Sync Compatible list, the ACER XB273GX (27” 1920x1080 IPS).

As always, the driver release notes reveal additional details, which we've reported below.
