NVIDIA has released a new driver for its graphics cards. According to the release notes, the NVIDIA GeForce 522.25 WHQL driver is optimized for Gotham Knights, Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, and Dakar Desert Rally.
Furthermore, this driver features significant DirectX 12 performance optimizations which can dramatically improve performance for GeForce 30 Series GPUs. For those wondering, I did not find any improvements on the RTX 4090. Thus, I don’t know whether these performance gains are only for the older RTX GPUs.
You can download this new driver from here. Below you can also find its complete changelog.

Excellent work by the green team. ?
Anyone else having weird GPU spikes after installing?
now that you mention it there was a weird lag in AC Valhalla but only because i left it in the bg for quite some time. Other than that, all good.
it’s been available for the past 2 days now. Ela re papadopoule..
The DX12 improvements go up to like 20%. This is a huge update that people don’t even realize how big it is.
Not seen any performance gains, but hey I just play that friKKing Dirt 4 every night on my 2060S on my CX55. Would love some DLSS on this one!
Thanks for sharing. I read many of your blog posts, cool, your blog is very good.
