The new Game Ready Driver provides the latest performance optimizations, profiles, and bug fixes for Zombie Army: Dead War 4. In addition, this release also provides optimal support for Apex Legends Season 4 and Metro Exodus: Sam’s Story.

Maximum Frame Rate
In the last Game Ready Driver, we introduced a new Maximum Framerate Setting into the NVIDIA Control Panel which allowed gamers to set the max framerate a 3D application or game can render. With the latest Game Ready Driver, we’ve incorporated community feedback asking for the limits to be extended. As a result, framerate limits can be as low as 20fps and can be raised as high as 1000fps.

New Features and Other Changes

• NVIDIA Control Panel>3D Settings>Maximum Frame Rate control Extended the slider values ​​to minimum=20, maximum=1000.
• Added Virtual Reality – Variable Rate Super Sampling (VRSS) setting to the NVIDIA Control Panel ->Manage 3D Settings page.
  VRSS improves image quality by applying super sampling selectively on the central region of a frame. See this Game Ready Driver article for the latest list of profiled VR apps.
