game ready A set of bundled NVIDIA drivers and optimization software for gaming performance, it is often updated, to the delight of users of graphics adapter cards from this manufacturer. And why do I say like when normally updating the driver is routine? Well, because these updates usually bring, among other things, the compatibility of more games with the company’s own technologies, such as DLSS, frame generation, ray tracing, etc. In some cases, this support comes for games that have been around for a while, and in others for recent or future releases.

On this occasion we are brought before the second case, s two highly anticipated titles and that, at least in the case of the one that has already debuted, it does not add to the prevailing trend of disastrous launches that exhaust the patience of many players (myself included) and force them to buy the game before After the launch it ceases to be a sign of confidence and becomes a risky gamble a game that more and more people have decided not to play again, at least for a long time.

But as I said, NVIDIA has released a Game Ready driver update, 535.98, which, in addition to fixing some previously identified bugs (specifically those identified with references 4008945, 3592260, 4050712, 4067005 and 405647), expands the scope of its superscaling technology to bring both the recently released System Shock Remake and the already very close and long-awaited Diablo IV.

The impact of this Game Ready update on Diablo IV, which you can see in the video above, can be considered overwhelming. Thanks to the use of DLSS 3, an analysis of the increase in frame rate across the entire RTX 40 family already on the market (4090, 4080, 4070 TI and 4070) with different configurations and resolutions shows jumps that they range on average between 2x and 2.5ximprovements that not only apply to the dedicated graphics desktop, but also to the mobile versions for laptops.

In addition, users of NVIDIA Reflex-compatible devices will benefit from this new version of Game Ready drivers in this regard, as tests conducted with this technology have shown that system latency while playing Diablo IV can be reduced by up to 67%which will allow users to respond much faster to their actions, which can make a big difference in this type of title and especially in harder game modes.

In the case of the already available System Shock, it gains DLSS 2 compatibility with the Game Ready update, which according to NVIDIA means users will be able to see double the frame rate per second when playing in 4K resolution with maximum graphics settings.
