NVIDIA regularly releases updates for, say, an enhanced version of its drivers. Those who are not familiar with this may be surprised, because updating device drivers is generally a process that is performed from time to time, that is, rarely if ever during the lifetime of the installation. component or peripheral. To understand it, it is necessary to know it NVIDIA Game Ready drivers are actually much more than just a graphics driver.

With each of their versions, software adds support so new titles can use NVIDIA technologies such as DLSS, Reflex, etc. This means that with each update, improvements are obtained that allow you to get more out of your graphics adapter, whether we are talking about a desktop computer or a laptop. And as we’ve seen on many other occasions in the past, it’s common to see performance boosts for supported games that are spectacular.

That’s the case, as we’ll see below, with the latest Game Ready driver update, version 547.32, now available for download for users of NVIDIA graphics cards, which, as we told you a few days ago, will start DLSS 3.5new artificial intelligence ray reconstruction technology that is compatible with all GeForce RTX 20, 30 and 40 series graphics cards.

Now, with the release of this update, NVIDIA has also revealed some surprising data about what this technology can do when playing Cyberpunk 2077, which received the long-awaited 2.o update yesterday and which will also see the arrival of its DLC, Phantom Liberty, the only one, next Tuesday. which the game is scheduled to receive. And as we can see from the measurements made by the company, the differences are more than obvious.

In the graph below we can see the result of running Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty with all graphics settings at maximum, Ray Tracing: Overdrive Mode, DLSS 3.5, Frame Generation, Reflex and Ray Reconstruction active in 4K resolution. The gray shows the frames per second with DLSS off, while the green bars represent the performance gained with DLSS 3.5 enabled. As you can see, We’re talking about a 5x improvement.

In the following graph, we can see the performance of several NVICIA graphics adapters when playing CP2077: Phantom Liberty with a resolution of 2560 x 1440, also with maximum settings. In this case, we see how DLSS 3.5 triples the average performance obtained with native rendering, ensuring 60+ FPS using GeForce RTX 4070 or higher.

And what happens if we talk about the same settings, but play with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 points? Well, we also find improvements above x2 and in some cases they are close or even exceed a factor of 3x:

As you can see, this NVIDIA Game Ready driver update will allow you to enjoy Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty which As we told you a few days ago, this is an extremely challenging titleand also do it with very high graphics settings, like ray tracing Overdrive mode, without it resulting in a frame rate below what is necessary to enjoy a game with these features. Again thanks to artificial intelligence and specialization.
