NVIDIA Releases 382.53 WHQL Game Ready Drivers

A new set of game ready drivers are now available for NVIDIA GeForce users with the release of version 382.53 WHQL. It brings several updates, most notably optimal support for new titles such as DiRT 4 and Nex Machina. The 382.53 WHQL game ready driver package also adds several SLI profiles for four new games. This includes multi-GPU support for BulletStorm FCE, Little Nightmares, Battlegrounds and Transformers Online. 3D Gaming enthusiasts also get profile updates for Tekken 7 and Quake Champions, elevating them to ‘Fair’ and ‘Good’ respectively. Unfortunately, DiRT 4 and Nex Machina 3D profiles have a ‘not recommended’ rating for now, but hopefully it gets support in the future.
