Nvidia has released today its newest GeForce driver, version 531.18, for Windows. As with most of its drivers, the latest drivers are WHQL signed too. The new release brings Resizable BAR (ReBAR) support to Dead Space, which apparently boosts the performance of the title by close to 50% (via Reddit). It also fixes instability issues in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II.
In terms of new features and support, the driver also adds RTX Video Super Resolution support. The driver also brings DLSS 3 to Atomic Heart and the closed Beta of THE FINALS.
