Nvidia has released a new driver for its GPU cards. The driver 497.29 adds Day-1 optimal gaming experience for the cooperative horror shooter GTFO. At the same time, it also utilizes Nvidia DLSS in Horizon Zero Dawn, which should improve the performance by up to 50%, according to the official changelog.

The driver also fixes a couple of previously known issues in games such as Microsoft Flight Simulator, while some other critical issues regarding other games are still lingering. The driver can be downloaded through Nvidia’s official Download Page or GeForce Experience. For the complete driver changelog, you can check the list below.
