Nvidia today released the GeForce Game Ready 391.01 WHQL-certified drivers, delivering optimizations for Warhammer: Vermintide 2, Final Fantasy XV, as well as World of Tanks with its brand-new engine upgrade.
In addition to the three titles, the driver introduces an up to 7% performance boost for PlayerUnknown"s Battlegrounds for the GTX 10-Series graphics cards. As the impact of these improvements depends on the user"s hardware and graphics settings, Nvidia has compiled a handy chart to give players an idea of what to expect; do note, however, that the system these cards were tested on had an Intel Core i7-7820X @ 3.6GHz, 32GB of DDR4 2666Mhz RAM, and ran Windows 10:
| 1920x1080 | 2560x1440 | 3840x2160 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| GeForce GTX 1050 | 7% | - | - |
| GeForce GTX 1060 3GB | 5% | 6% | - |
| GeForce GTX 1060 6GB | 5% | 6% | - |
| GeForce GTX 1070 | 5% | 5% | 6% |
| GeForce GTX 1070 Ti | 4% | 5% | 6% |
| GeForce GTX 1080 | 3% | 7% | 7% |
