Game Ready for DirectX 12 Ultimate

The new Game Ready Driver provides full support for the new DirectX 12 Ultimate graphics API. This includes support for DirectX Raytracing (DXR) version 1.1 as well as support for mesh shaders, sampler feedback, and variable-rate shading (VRS). Additionally, this driver supports Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling when used with the Windows 10 May 2020 Update.

Microsoft has recently released the DirectX 12 Ultimate graphics API alongside the Windows 10 May 2020 update, codifying GeForce RTX’s innovative technologies as the standard for multi-platform, next-gen games.

With the release of today’s new GeForce Game Ready driver, DirectX 12 Ultimate and its features are fully supported on GeForce RTX GPUs on Windows 10 operating systems using version 2004 or newer. To download and install this new driver, simply fire up GeForce Experience and click the “Drivers” tab.

DirectX 12 Ultimate gives developers a large, multi-platform install base of hardware to target, and ready-made tools and examples to work from — all backed by time-saving middleware. This makes game development faster and easier, and enables more developers to add these innovative technologies to their games. Many developers have already crafted next-gen experiences featuring these technologies–there are over 30 DirectX Raytracing games shipping or announced–and now with the launch of DirectX 12 Ultimate, adoption of them is set to increase rapidly.

With GeForce RTX, the first and only PC platform with support for these game-changing features, gamers are ready for the most advanced and graphically intensive games today and in the coming years.

For further details on the Ray Tracing, Variable Rate Shading, Mesh Shading and Sampler Feedback technologies in DirectX 12 Ultimate, head on over to this in-depth article.

Furthermore, in addition to introducing support for DirectX 12 Ultimate, the Windows 10 May 2020 Update also added a new feature called Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling. This new feature can potentially improve performance and reduce latency by allowing the video card to directly manage its own memory.

To enable hardware scheduling, you can open “Graphics Settings: Change Default Graphics Settings”. Simply toggle the feature on and restart the system and you’ll reap the full benefits of the feature.

Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling Windows 10 option
Rounding out support for the latest graphics APIs, this Game Ready Driver is also the first public driver from NVIDIA to provide full Vulkan 1.2 support and functionality on GeForce and TITAN GPUs.

Support For Newly Validated G-SYNC Compatible Displays
Our newest Game Ready Driver driver adds support for 9 new G-SYNC Compatible displays – gaming monitors that deliver a baseline Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) experience that makes your gaming smoother, clearer, and more enjoyable. Included in the list is Samsung’s new 2020 Odyssey gaming monitors, headlined by the 49” 5120×1440 Odyssey 2020 G9, which is available from today.
