By Andrew Burnes on April 04, 2024

Our latest Game Ready Driver optimizes your system for Season 3 of Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® III and Call of Duty: Warzone™, and Diablo IV’s ray tracing upgrade, all of which are accelerated by NVIDIA DLSS 3 and made more responsive by NVIDIA Reflex.

Download and install the new GeForce Game Ready Driver from the Drivers tab of the NVIDIA app beta, GeForce Experience or GeForce.com, and read on to learn more.

Game Ready For Call of Duty Season 3

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and Call of Duty: Warzone players can drop into Season 3, available now. Headlining the season is the much-anticipated return of Rebirth Island in Call of Duty: Warzone, including all-new gameplay features that will change the dynamics of your experience on this fan-favorite map.

 

In Modern Warfare III Multiplayer, jump into an unprecedented number of maps and modes that will surely deliver both new and familiar combat experiences, and stay tuned for a massive in-season Zombies update that includes a brand-new Dark Aether Rift and a showdown with the Dark Aether entity face-to-face.

 

In Call of Duty: Warzone, DLSS 3 increases frame rates by up to 55% on average on GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs, boosting performance past CPU bounded limits and enabling you to run at the highest available refresh rates on the fastest monitors, which can increase motion clarity, aim responsiveness, and the speed at which you see enemy players, potentially giving you a competitive advantage.

On GeForce RTX 40 Series laptops, an average 50% boost delivers similar benefits to gamers on the go:

If GeForce RTX gamers find that frame rates are exceeding the max refresh rate of their display, they can instead enable NVIDIA DLAA, which uses the same AI technology as DLSS to amp up visual fidelity at native resolutions.

Additionally, GeForce gamers can activate NVIDIA Reflex, which is available to use with any combination of settings on GeForce RTX and GeForce GTX GPUs. This game changing technology reduces system latency on GeForce graphics cards and laptops so your actions occur quicker, giving you a competitive edge in multiplayer matches, and making single-player titles more responsive and enjoyable.

 

Since its debut in September 2020, NVIDIA Reflex has reduced system latency in over 100 games, and over 90% of GeForce gamers have enabled Reflex. 9 of the top 10 competitive shooters feature Reflex support, such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, Call of Duty: Warzone, and Overwatch 2, along with critically acclaimed co-op and single-player games. In 2023 alone, GeForce gamers played over 10 billion hours of their favorite titles with increased responsiveness thanks to Reflex’s innovative system latency reducing technology.

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and Call of Duty: Warzone, system latency is reduced by up to 28%, making gameplay even more responsive.

Game Ready For Diablo IV’s Ray Tracing Update

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. Game Ready Drivers also allow you to optimize game settings in GeForce Experience with a single click, and empower you with the latest NVIDIA technologies. That’s what we call Game Ready.

Our new driver delivers the optimum experience in Diablo IV’s new ray tracing update, which introduces support for Ray Traced Reflections, Ray Traced Shadows, and Ray Traced Foliage.

 

Using DLSS 3, performance is multiplied by 3.1X on average at 4K in Diablo IV, with ray tracing and every other setting maxed out. On the world’s most powerful gaming GPU, the GeForce RTX 4090, players can enjoy the definitive experience, with the very best graphics running at 144 frames per second. The recently-released GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER and GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER exceed 100 FPS, and the GeForce RTX 4070 and GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER handily pass 60 FPS.

At 2560x1440, DLSS 3 boosts performance by an average of 2.3X, enabling all GeForce RTX 40 Series gamers to experience Diablo IV at max settings with ray tracing at over 60 FPS:

On GeForce RTX 40 Series laptops, a 2.2X performance multiplier at both 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 enables fast max setting, ray-traced gameplay on many laptop configurations. At 1080p, every laptop tested ran at over 80 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 and 4080 laptops hit 120 FPS, with only a CPU bottleneck preventing even faster performance.

At 2560x1440, GeForce RTX 4070 laptops can run at over 67 FPS with everything maxed, GeForce RTX 4080 laptops surpass 100 FPS, and the all-powerful GeForce RTX 4090 laptop achieved a blistering 116 FPS.

To ensure your frame rates hit these highs, install our new driver.
