A new month is upon us, so you know what that means? Yes, sooner or later Nvidia was going to ask us to upgrade our graphics card drivers (once again). – Is it worth making the effort this time around though? Well, if you plan on playing Dying Light 2 this weekend (which certainly sounds like an excellent way to spend some time to me!), it definitely appears to be in your interest as with it offering game-ready optimisations, your zombie survival experience will only be more graphically glossy and smoother for having it!

Where Can I Get This Update?

Presuming you haven’t already checked (or have been prompted to do so), if you have the Nvidia GeForce Experience app installed on your PC (which I sincerely hope you do!), a quick driver update search on it should ask you (all going well) to download and install this latest 511.65 version. – Failing this happening, however, you can manually download the new drivers (as well as learn more information) via the link here!

Dying Light 2 is set for release on February 4th!
