NVIDIA releases GeForce Game Ready Driver 617.14 for new game optimizations

NVIDIA has released the GeForce Game Ready Driver version 617.14 WHQL, providing optimizations for several upcoming high-profile PC titles. The update specifically targets CONTROL Resonant, Gears of War: E-Day, AION 2, and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered.

Key technical enhancements include support for DLSS 4.5, path tracing, and Ray Reconstruction. For instance, CONTROL Resonant will utilize full path tracing and DLSS 4.5 features. The driver also aims to maximize performance for RTX 50 series GPUs, with benchmarks suggesting high frame rates in 4K resolution for supported titles.

Beyond game optimizations, the driver addresses several technical bugs. It fixes issues where certain titles like the Judgment series and Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. failed to launch following previous updates. It also resolves hardware-specific problems, such as Samsung Odyssey G95NC monitors failing to display images via HDMI and certain monitors failing to wake from sleep via DisplayPort.
