NVIDIA has released a brand new driver for its graphics cards. According to the green team, the NVIDIA GeForce 581.80 WHQL driver offers optimal performance in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. This driver also adds support for Anno 117: Pax Romana and Europa Universalis V.
From what I can see, this driver also fixes a couple of bugs. To be more precise, it fixes performance in F1 25 when using DLSS 4 Frame Generation. It also fixes some crashes that could occur in Vulkan apps on Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad CPUs.
And that’s that. This driver mainly focuses on the games I mentioned above. So, if you are not planning to play any of them, you can safely skip it. After all, it does not seem to pack any general fixes or tweaks.
Those interested can go ahead and download the driver from this link. Below, you can also find its complete changelog.

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
