NVIDIA has released a new GeForce Game Ready Driver (version 596.36) ahead of the May 5th launch of Conan Exiles Enhanced, the sweeping Unreal Engine 5 overhaul of Funcom's long-running survival title. As announced last week, Conan Exiles Enhanced will debut on PC exclusively via Steam as a free upgrade.
For GeForce RTX players, the update also includes support for DLSS Multi Frame Generation, DLSS Frame Generation, DLSS Super Resolution, and NVIDIA Reflex, the latter reducing PC latency to make combat and survival gameplay feel snappier and more responsive. All of these GeForce features were entirely missing from the original Conan Exiles, so they will be welcome for RTX users. Below are the minimum and recommended requirements for Conan Exiles Enhanced.
| Specs | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 64-bit | Windows 11 64-bit |
| CPU | Intel Core i5-10400F / AMD Ryzen 5 3600 | Intel Core i7-11700F / AMD Ryzen 7 5600X |
| RAM | 16 GB | 16 GB |
| GPU | GTX 1070 Ti / RX 5700 XT (8 GB VRAM) | RTX 3060 / RX 6700 (8–10 GB VRAM) |
| DirectX | Version 12 | Version 12 |
| Storage | SSD required | SSD required |
The new GeForce Game Ready driver (which also supports the new GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop 12GB GPU) drops alongside a busy slate of games with DLSS integrations:
- NTE (Neverness to Everness) - Hotta Studio's free-to-play online action RPG, set in a city where humans co-exist with supernatural anomalies, officially launches in North America, Europe, and other regions on April 29. As previously announced, it supports DLSS Super Resolution, DLSS Ray Reconstruction, DLSS Multi Frame Generation, and path-traced lighting.
- Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred - The climax of the Age of Hatred Saga launches today. Just like the base game, this expansion supports DLSS Super Resolution and DLSS Frame Generation, with NVIDIA claiming GeForce RTX 50 Series players can multiply 4K frame rates by an average of 6.5X at max settings with ray-traced reflections and shadows active. All RTX users can upgrade to DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution via the NVIDIA app, while RTX 50 Series owners can also access DLSS 4.5 Dynamic Multi Frame Generation 6X Mode.
