Nvidia Promises To Bring Major Performance Improvements To DirectX 12 Via GeForce Drivers Update

Last Updated on October 14, 2022 by Anu Joy

Nvidia claims its most recent GeForce GPU driver will offer some noticeable speed improvements for games like Cyberpunk 2077, Forza Horizon 5, and many more DirectX 12 titles. Double-digit percentage gains in frame rates across 1080p, 1440p, and 4K are among the performance enhancements. Additionally, Cyberpunk 2077 will benefit from enhancements of up to 20% at 1080p, while Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will get improvements of up to 25% at the same resolution. Even Control will get up to 6% increase at 4K.

Nvidia says in a blog post that “these improvements include shader compilation optimization, less CPU overhead, and Resizable BAR profiles for Forza Horizon 5 and F1 22.” Many of these improvements work best in CPU-constrained situations, maximising the use of your graphics card. DLSS 3 support for Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered and Bright Memory: Infinite is included in today’s 522.25 driver update, which is also ready for Nvidia’s new RTX 4090 GPU.

The whole list of performance enhancements is as follows:

• Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: up to 25% (1080p)
• Battlefield 2042: up to 7% (1080p)
• Borderlands 3: Up to 8% (1080p)
