Nvidia’s latest driver packs enhancements for RAGE 2, Total War: Three Kingdoms and World War Z

Nvidia has released their Geforce 430.64 driver for Windows 10 and Windows 7 based systems, delivering optimisations for RAGE 2, Total War: Three Kingdoms and World War Z, delivering PC gamers the best gaming experience on each of these games when using Geforce graphics cards.  

In World War Z, Nvidia’s internal testing shows that their 430.64 drivers can deliver up to an 18% performance improvement to game performance when using the Vulkan API, though this performance delta gets lower as you move down Nvidia’s lower-end Turing lineup. Sadly no data is provided for users of older Pascal powered graphics cards. 

This driver also packs a fix for the CPU utilisation issues that some users experienced with Nvidia’s 430.39 drivers, removing the CPU-sapping bug from the Geforce driver stack.
