Nvidia 441.66 WHQL driver delivers MechWarrior 5 and Detroit: Become Human optimizations

Nvidia's driver team has pushed out a new version of the suite, GeForce Game Ready 441.66 WHQL driver, that carries optimizations for two newly arriving PC games plus G-Sync Compatible support for a couple of more monitors.

MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries and Detroit: Become Human are the optimizations-receiving games in this release, and those who are picking either of the games are recommended to install this driver before playing. The MechWarrior title is releasing today while Detroit: Become Human lands on December 12, both exclusively on the Epic Games Store.

Meanwhile, the MSI MAG251RX and ViewSonic XG270 displays are now in the G-Sync Compatible Monitors list of Nvidia, bumping up the total number to over 60.

Here are the bug fixes Nvidia has included in this Game Ready driver.

Known issues to keep an eye out for are there as well:

Additional Issues

• No Low Latency Mode setting on MSHybrid notebooks/PCs with SLI configuration:
  • In the R440 branch, we fixed a bug that was incorrectly allowing NVIDIA Ultra Low Latency mode to be enabled for MSHybrid and SLI configurations. Even though the mode appeared to be enabled on these configurations, Ultra Low Latency mode was not actually engaged. R435 was considered a Beta and we apologize for any confusion this may have caused
