Along with the GTX 1660 Super launch today, Nvidia is set to release a new Game Ready driver. Not only will the new driver add support for the GTX 1660 Super, but it will also bring a host of new features for existing Nvidia GeForce graphics cards too.

Over the past six months, Nvidia has added Day 0 support for over 30 new games, along with performance improvements of up to 31%. Nvidia is proud of its Day 0 game support and claims it is the product of a close working relationship between the company and game developers.

Every Game Ready driver from Nvidia is WHQL certified, which ensures high-quality compatibility with Windows 10.

In conjunction with the GTX 1660 Super release, Nvidia will be dropping a new Game Ready driver which will include enhanced tools for image sharpening and scaling within the Nvidia Control Panel, an Ultra-Low Latency mode for G-Sync displays and integrated support for ReShade filters into GeForce Experience.

With Nvidia Turing GPUs, image sharpening will be hardware base and upscaled by the GPU, along with a software bilinear upscale. Older Nvidia GPUs will use bilinear upscaling only.
