NVIDIA has released its latest Game Ready driver, version 516.59, which is optimized for the F1 22 game due to launch on July 1st.

　　F1 22 has a wealth of ray traced effects, such as high-fidelity opaque reflections, transparent reflections, ambient occlusion, and shadows. Some of those are even supported on next-generation consoles, but only PC gamers can use them in actual races.

　　However, they are far from cheap from a performance standpoint. That's where NVIDIA DLSS support comes in; according to NVIDIA, Deep Learning Super Sampling can accelerate performance by over two times at 4K in Performance Mode.

　　Check out a brief NVIDIA DLSS on/off comparison in F1 22 below, and stay tuned for our review of the game coming soon.

　　The new F1 22 Game Ready driver is also optimized for Loopmancer (an upcoming action platform game with rogue-lite elements that supports ray traced reflections and NVIDIA DLSS), Monster Hunter Rise, and its Sunbreak expansion. Weirdly enough, NVIDIA did not say that Monster Hunter Rise (and by extension, Sunbreak) would receive DLSS support, yet that's what we just discovered from the latest update.

　　As with all Game Ready drivers, there's also a wealth of fixed issues while others remain open, as revealed by the full release notes.
