Just ahead of the release of one of the most anticipated games for 2020, Nvidia has released a driver that adds optimal support for Cyberpunk 2077. Among the other things, it also adds support for the official launch of Minecraft RTX for Windows 10.
This update is highly important to get since not only it adds optimal support but also fixes numerous other issues. For example, the GPU power consumption could increase while the PC is in idle mode with a higher refresh rate on certain high refresh-rate monitors.
