Nvidia’s Geforce 445.75 driver is ready for DLSS 2.0, Half-Life Alyx, Resident Evil 3 and more

Nvidia has just released its Geforce 445.75 Driver, bringing with it Game Ready support for Half-Life Alyx, Resident Evil 3, Ghost Recon: Breakpoint’s Vulkan API update and DLSS 2.0 on Control and Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries.   

With DLSS 2.0, Nvidia has mitigated many of the shortcomings of the company’s early implementations of its Deep Learning Super Sampling technology, enabling gamers to gain the performance benefits of DLSS without as many graphical shortcomings. This has allowed Nvidia to make DLSS appear more visually appealing in supported games while maintaining significant performance benefits. 

This driver also adds Acer’s XB273GX to Nvidia’s list of G-Sync Compatible monitors, allowing users of this 240Hz IPS Variable Refresh Rate monitor to enjoy official G-Sync support.
