Game Ready Drivers provide the best possible gaming experience for all major new releases, including Virtual Reality games. 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-1.

As mentioned, Nvidia with this release officially halts support for 32-bit windows, as well as Fermi based graphics cards like GeForce GTX 480 and similar. We have a discussion thread open on this driver here in our Nvidia driver discussion forums.
