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 optimized for the best gameplay on day-1. We have a discussion thread open on this driver here in our Nvidia driver discussion forums. For those that wonder, the DCH driver is a Microsoft DCH (Declarative Componentized Hardware supported apps) driver, and refers to a new Windows 10 driver package preinstalled by OEMS implementing the Microsoft Universal Driver paradigm.  While the base core component files remain the same, the way DCH drivers are packaged differs from previous Legacy (Standard) drivers.

Game Ready for Zombie Army: Dead War 4
The new Game Ready Driver provides the latest performance optimizations, profiles, and bug fixes for Zombie Army: Dead War 4. In addition, this release also provides optimal support for Apex Legends Season 4 and Metro Exodus: Sam’s Story.

Maximum Framerate
In the last Game Ready Driver, we introduced a new Maximum Framerate Setting into the NVIDIA Control Panel which allowed gamers to set the max framerate a 3D application or game can render. With the latest Game Ready Driver, we’ve incorporated community feedback asking for the limits to be extended. As a result, framerate limits can be as low as 20fps and can be raised as high as 1000fps.

The latest GeForce Game Ready driver delivers day-one support for Zombie Army: Dead War 4, Apex Legends: Season 4 and Metro Exodus: Sam’s Story, and adds support for three new G-SYNC Compatible gaming monitors. And we've also tweaked the recently released Max Frame Rate and VRSS features.
