What you need to know
Nvidia’s latest round of GeForce Game Readydriver version 537.34 released today,bringing an important feature for two new games to be released on September 19th. Lies of P a Souls-like gamethat we have previewedis looking like it will be a pretty big hit and Nvidia has brought DLSS 2 to the game to make sure the performance is as good as it can be for launch. The same is being provided forMortal Kombat 1, the latest game in the long-running fighting-game franchise and releasing on the same September 19th date.
The most important addition as part of this new GeForce driver for many though will be for the newly released and very highly praised gameStarfield. It has been shown that the game was performing better on AMD GPUs, which with it being an AMD sponsored title made sense. However, there was more that Nvidia could do and today with driver 537.34 they have added Resizable BAR support, which myRTX 4070welcomes with open arms. Nvidia says that on GeForce RTX 40 series cards, this could bring a performance boost of up to 5%. Doesn’t sound like much, but every little helps.
Lies of P

The driver also adds support forsix new G-Sync enabled monitors, as well as one-click optimal settings for a number of games:
DLSS 2 support is always good to see for newly launched games. Lies of P and Mortal Kombat 1 will likely be quite popular too, so many people should benefit from this addition. And if you’re a Starfield player, it’s great to have some increased performance, but AMD still has that advantage with itsRadeon 7000 series. Hopefully Nvidia closes the gap some more with subsequent driver updates.
