Nvidia rende disponibile una nuova versione dei propri driver video per le GPU della famiglia GeForce. Si tratta della release R337.88 WHQL, che precede di un giorno il debutto ufficiale del gioco Watch Dogs. Il nuovo titolo di Ubisoft rientra all'interno del programma TWIMTBP e per questo, oltre ai driver ottimizzati, la casa di Santa Clara ha pubblicato una corposa guida sugli effetti grafici presenti (o nascosti) e sulle impostazioni consigliate, valida per i possessori di schede video GeForce GTX-series e non solo (le principali tweak, le modifiche al file di configurazione e le opzioni avanzate funzionano anche sulle Radeon di AMD).

Ricordiamo che la versione PC di Watch Dogs integra le tecnologie aggiuntive di anti-aliasing temporale TXAA e di occlusione ambientale HBAO+ (Horizon Based Ambient Occlusion+), oltre a supportare la risoluzione 4K .

Il download dei driver GeForce 337.88 WHQL è disponibile a questo indirizzo.

Questo il changelog:

New in GeForce 337.88 Game Ready WHQL drivers

  • Game Ready - This 337.88 Game Ready WHQL driver ensures you'll have the best possible gaming experience for Watch Dogs.
  • Performance – Introduces key DirectX optimizations which result in reduced game-loading times and significant performance increases across a wide variety of games compared with the previous 335.23 WHQL. Significant CPU overhead reductions in the driver result in performance gains that will often favor CPU-bottlenecked situations. Per usual, results will vary depending on your GPU, system configuration, and game settings.
