Nvidia releases ‘Game Ready’ 381.89 WHQL driver

Just in case you missed the pop-up box in Windows, Nvidia has a new Game Ready driver package available. This latest update—version 381.89 WHQL—is optimized for several games, including Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III, Heroes of the Storm 2.0, Batman: Arkham VR, Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality, and Wilson's Heart.

[Sniper Elite 3]: The game crashes.
[Notebook][eDP panel]: Blue-screen (code 3B) occurs followe by the Recovery screen during software unbundling process.
[GeForce GTX 1060]: Blue-screen crash occurs pointing to driver (Nvlddmkm.sys) after the system reboots from sleep mode.
GPU idling voltage has increased.

There are still a bunch of open issues Nvidia is working to correct, including over a dozen in Windows 10 and five more spread out between Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 7.

Going forward do not be surprised to see Nvidia concentrate part of its efforts on VR games.

"Having the best possible quality for a game at launch is important, and it becomes even more important in VR titles. Gameplay issues or bugs can break immersion and ruin a VR experience. Our long-running Game Ready driver program delivers the best possible experience by optimizing performance and latency, which is especially important for smooth, stutter-free virtual reality gameplay," Nvidia says.
