Nvidia GeForce Graphics Driver 531.18 Download

GeForce Game Ready Drivers deliver the best experience for your favorite games. They’re finely tuned in collaboration with developers and extensively tested across thousands of hardware configurations for maximum performance and reliability.

Prior to a new title launching, our driver team is working up until the last minute to ensure every performance tweak and bug fix is included for the best gameplay on day one. Game Ready Drivers also allow you to optimize game settings with a single click and empower you with the latest Nvidia technologies. That’s what we call Game Ready.

Game Ready vs Studio drivers?

Whether you are playing the hottest new games or working with the latest creative applications, Nvidia drivers are custom tailored to provide the best possible experience. 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 reliability for creative workflows including video editing, animation, photography, graphic design, and livestreaming, choose Studio Drivers.

Every Game Ready Driver is treated with the highest standards of quality. Our drivers are tested across thousands of hardware configurations over multiple generations of GPUs, and each driver is independently WHQL-Certified by Microsoft for maximum reliability – so you can focus on gaming, not troubleshooting.

Evil Dead: The Game Gets Nvidia DLSS On May 13

The Evil Dead franchise needs little introduction, having entertained audiences with its unique blend of action-horror-comedy since the original film’s release in 1981. On May 13, 2022, take control of Ash and other key franchise characters in Evil Dead: The Game, an over-the-top co-op and PVP multiplayer action game from Saber Interactive.

Paradise Killer Update Introduces Nvidia DLSS & Ray-Traced Reflections – Available Now

Kaizen Game Works’ Paradise Killer is a highly-rated open-world detective game set on Paradise Island, a world outside reality. There’s been a murder that only “investigation freak” Lady Love Dies can solve. Gather evidence and interrogate suspects in this open world adventure. You can accuse anyone, but you’ll have to prove your case in trial. It’s up to you to decide who’s guilty.

Paradise Killer players can experience the game’s vibrant island with ray-traced reflections and performance-accelerating Nvidia DLSS. When both are enabled, image quality is dramatically improved, and performance increases by up to 60% at 4K.

Spatial Upscaling For All Games With Nvidia Image Scaling

Nvidia also offers a driver-based spatial upscaler called Nvidia Image Scaling (NIS) to help boost performance for all your games. It boosts performance by rendering your game at a lower resolution, and then upscales and sharpens to match your monitor’s native resolution. You can enable this feature manually in the Control Panel and then set the in-game resolution to match, or simply enable it automatically through GeForce Experience.

Nvidia Control Panel

• To activate Nvidia Image Scaling in the Nvidia Control Panel, open the Nvidia Control Panel, click onto “Manage 3D Settings”, and activate “Image Scaling”
• Launch your game, and under resolution, set it lower than that of your display monitor. Also set your game to full-screen mode
• You can also enable the overlay indicator, and a “NIS” text label will appear in the upper left corner of the screen. A green text color indicates that NVIDIA Image Scaling is scaling and sharpening the game. If the text is colored blue, then Nvidia Image Scaling is sharpening but not scaling
  • *For games that don’t offer Full Screen mode or Image Scaling is not getting engaged, you can set the resolution of your desktop equal to in-game resolution, which will enable Nvidia Image Scaling. It is recommended to use the Nvidia Control Panel to set or switch between scaling resolutions on the desktop.
