Nvidia's latest graphics driver, the GeForce 531.18 WHQL “Game Ready”, is optimized for Atomic Heart, Company of Heroes and The Finals beta starting March 7th. In addition to the usual fixes and new profiles for GeForce Experience, there is also support for RTX Video Super Resolution.
Game Ready for Atomic Heart and The Finals
The GeForce 531.18 WHQL follows the GeForce 528.49 WHQL that was released on February 8th and primarily offers optimizations for the Soviet robotic shooter Atomic Heart (test). In addition, the new driver for GeForce graphics cards is also “Game Ready” for the two-week closed beta test phase of The Finals, Embark's upcoming shooter, which will support both DLSS and ray tracing as well as Nvidia Reflex. Interested players can request access to the beta version via Steam. In addition, the GeForce 531.18 WHQL comes with graphics presets optimized via GeForce Experience for some other current games.
