NVIDIA just released a new Game Ready Driver (378.92) that provides the optimal experience for Bioware's Mass Effect: Andromeda, out tomorrow in North America, and Harmonix's Rock Band VR for the Oculus Rift. You can download it now via GeForce Experience or alternatively via NVIDIA's official website.

　　The first critic reviews for Andromeda have painted a rougher picture than Mass Effect fans would have liked - on average, the game is currently rated 75 (out of 100) on OpenCritic. By contrast, their previous game (Dragon Age: Inquisition) ended up with an average of 88/100.

　　We'll have our own review up soon, but in the meantime here's a reminder of the official system requirements:

　　Mass Effect: Andromeda Minimum System Requirements For 1280x720

　　CPU: Intel Core i5-3570 or AMD FX 6350GPU: GeForce GTX 660 or AMD Radeon 7850 2 GBRAM: 8GBOS: Windows 7, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 (64-bit versions)HDD: 55GB free spaceDirectX: Version 11Mass Effect: Andromeda Recommended System Requirements For 1920x1080
