Latest NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Drivers for Windows 10 [2]

NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Drivers 441.87 WHQL


Game Ready for Wolfenstein: Youngblood with Ray Tracing
The new Game Ready Driver provides the latest performance optimizations, profiles, and bug fixes for Wolfenstein: Youngblood including the introduction of ray tracing. In addition, this release also provides optimal support for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, Bright Memory: Infinite, and the latest version of Quake II RTX.

Maximum Framerate
In response to overwhelming demand from the community, we have introduced a new Maximum Framerate Setting into the NVIDIA Control Panel. Use the maximum frame rate setting to set the max framerate a 3D application or game can render. This feature is particularly helpful when trying to save power, reduce system latency or paired with your NVIDIA G-SYNC display to stay within variable refresh rate range.

Image Sharpening Improvements
Leveraging gamer feedback over the last few months, we have been continually improving the new image sharpening feature. With this latest version, you have the ability to toggle GPU scaling independent of whether image sharpening is enabled or disabled.

Variable Rate Super Sampling
We introduced a new VRSS feature…
Variable Rate Super Sampling (VRSS) is a new technique to improve image quality in VR games which uses NVIDIA Variable Rate Shading (VRS) to dynamically apply up to 8x super sampling to the center of the VR display when GPU headroom is available. In doing so, VRSS can improve image quality at the focal point of the eye while always maintaining the 90 FPS needed to deliver a smooth VR experience.

Share Freestyle Filters
Gamers can now import and export Freestyle/Ansel filters and take advantage of a new split screen filter to help showcase their improvements!New Features and Other Changes

• Added Max Frame Rate control to the NVIDIA Control Panel ->Manage 3D Settings page.: Lets you set the maximum 3D game or application frame rate that the GPU will render.

So am I right in saying that nVidia Control Panel is no longer bundled with the latest Driver 441.87(WHQL) and that once the Driver is installed you will have to head over to the Microsoft Store and download it separately? Apparently, this is only necessary if you Download the DCH (Game Ready Driver), version of the Driver and not the Standard or Studio Driver as it's now called.

Always followed the same procedure as @f14tomcat, except this is the first time after installing the latest version, I had to cope with that nagging notification asking me to download the NCP from the store. And to answer @Runnerbean, I always use the "Standard" version, meaning it doesn't happen only with DCH (Game ready driver); therefore, I would consider that as a new change in the way Nvidia delivers its package (download) from here on out.

Yes it is only for The Standard Version which most gamer's use.

Are you sure? I thought most gamers would use the DHC Driver.

nVidia Says:

If you are a gamer who prioritizes day of launch support for the latest games, patches, and DLCs, choose Game Ready Drivers.

If you are a content creator who prioritizes stability and quality for creative workflows including video editing, animation, photography, graphic design, and livestreaming, choose Studio Drivers.
