NVIDIA has unveiled the latest Game Ready driver which includes an SLI profile for Fallout 4 and optimizations for Just Cause 3 and Rainbow Six Siege. Not so long ago, NVIDIA promised to have drivers ready for major releases, but it seems they fell slightly behind with Just Cause 3. Nevertheless, it’s only a slight delay and I’m fascinated to see how the game runs with this latest update. Here is a complete rundown of the driver changes:

Just Cause 3 appears to be having some issues on a wide range of hardware and requires a pretty good setup. Nevertheless, open world games are usually fairly unoptimized on launch and things should improve through a number of driver updates.
