Nvidia's latest driver is ready for Halo Reach and Quake II RTX 1.2
On top of Nvidia's Game Ready optimisations, Nvidia has also added support for Nvidia Image Sharpening to both Vulkan and OpenGL titles, which can be used to increase the sharpness of older titles and upscale them to higher screen resolutions. This means that DirectX 9, 10, 11 and 12 are supported alongside Vulkan and OpenGL, covering all major graphical APIs.
What’s New in Version 441.41 WHQL
Game Ready Drivers provide the best possible gaming experience for all major new releases. 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.
Game Ready for Halo: Reach
The new Game Ready Driver provides the latest performance optimizations, profiles, and bug fixes for Halo: Reach. In addition, this release also provides optimal support for the Quake II RTX v1.2 update which provides exciting quality enhancements for ray tracing and textures.
Image Sharpening Support for Vulkan and OpenGL
Last month, we introduced a new NVIDIA Control Panel Image Sharpening feature that enables GeForce gamers to improve clarity and sharpness in DirectX titles, and to easily upscale and sharpen. With this new Game Ready Driver, this feature is also now available for OpenGL and Vulkan games. To enable Image Sharpening, open NVIDIA Control Panel and select Manage 3D Settings -> Image Sharpening.
New Features and Other Changes
- Image Sharpening is now supported on OpenGL and Vulkan applications.
Image Sharpening (set from the NVIDIA Control Panel->Manage 3D Settings page) increases the
level of sharpness, detail, or clarity of images in games and applications.
Note: As with all 3D settings in the NVIDIA Control Panel, you can enable Image Sharpening
globally, or selectively enable/disable per game as needed (using the Program Settings tab).

Its a feature over which a lot of over-hyped fuss has been made but in reality is practically unnoticble when actually playing a game. The ONLY real use for it is in static screenshots,IMO
..in answer to your question, sharpening filters will always usually result in a (tiny) performance hit.Quote

They realised that AMD has a great feature in FidelityFX and Radeon Image Sharpening and decided to steal the idea.Quote
