NVIDIA claims that its new version of graphics drivers provides a significant performance boost for several modern games based on the DirectX 12 API. For some projects, performance can be increased by double-digit percentages at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K resolutions.

“These improvements include shader compilation optimizations, reduced CPU load, and resizable BAR profiles for Forza Horizon 5 and F1 22,” NVIDIA said. “Many of these optimizations are most useful in CPU-intensive scenarios, allowing you to use your graphics card more efficiently.”

The full list of productivity gains is as follows:

• Assassin's Creed Valhalla: up to 25% (1080p)
• Battlefield 2042: up to 7% (1080p)
• Borderlands 3: up to 8% (1080p)
• Call of Duty: Vanguard: up to 12% (4K)
• Control: up to 6% (4K)
• Cyberpunk 2077: up to 20% (1080p)
• F1 22: up to 17% (4K)
• Far Cry 6: up to 5% (1440p)
• Forza Horizon 5: up to 8% (1080P)
• Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition: up to 8% (4k)
• Red Dead Redemption 2: up to 7% (1080p)
• Shadow of the Tomb Raider: up to 5% (1080p)
• Tom Clancy's The Division 2: up to 5% (1080p)
• Watch Dogs: Legion: up to 9% (1440p)

The new NVIDIA graphics driver version 522.25 also adds support for the new RTX 4090 graphics card and DLSS 3 technology to Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered and Bright Memory: Infinite. The latest driver is available on the NVIDIA driver downloads page.
