Nvidia has released GeForce 526.47 WHQL Game Ready drivers featuring day-zero support for Sackboy: A Big Adventure, Victoria 3, and WRC Generations, alongside DLSS 3 for F1 22, plus some bug fixes. The Windows 11 driver can be downloaded here.
With these drivers, Sackboy: A Big Adventure should offer up to 2.5 times higher framerates at 4K maximum settings with all ray-traced options enabled using DLSS 2, and F1 22 now leverages DLSS 3 frame generation.
Apart from game performance optimisation, the drivers also carry support for the new GeForce RTX 3060 8GB GDDR6 and the RTX 3060 Ti 8GB GDDR6X. As a reminder, the former lowered available video memory from 12GB to 8GB, meaning memory bandwidth has dropped to 240GB/s (from 360GB/s) due to a narrower 128-bit bus, while the latter upgrades to faster 19Gbps GDDR6X memory translating into 608GB/s of bandwidth, against 448GB/s previously.
Finally, a handful of fixes have been applied to bugs causing map corruption in Cyberpunk 2077, crash and reboot with Dell XPS 9560l laptops, missing 165Hz refresh rate option on Samsung Odyssey Ark monitors, and lower performance in Minecraft Java Edition. The full list of changes can be found below.
