Nvidia's game-ready drivers hit just in time for Fallout 4

Add as a preferred source on Google

If you’re taking today to prepare for the worst with the challenges that await in post-apocalyptic Boston, you’re not alone. That’s because, in anticipation of tomorrow’s global Fallout 4 launch, graphics chip company Nvidia has released its game-ready drivers just in the nick of time.

Plainly dubbed version 358.91, this update brings a host of enhancements to GeForce owners, such as optimizations and patches for some of this month’s major game releases. Additionally, you can expect SLI and 3D Vision profile updates for some of this year’s less recent titles.

On the Game Ready side, expect optimizations for Fallout 4StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void, and Star Wars Battlefront to be underway. Meanwhile, SLI profiles have been added for Act of AgressionNBA 2K16, and the 64-bit edition of StarCraft II. And, if you’re still clinging to that 3D TV, you’ll be happy to know that stereoscopic 3D Vision profiles have been put in place for Mad MaxMetal Gear Solid V, and Total War: Arena. However, for whatever reason, Nvidia recommends against playing Call of Duty: Black Ops III in 3D.

Like all consumer driver updates from Nvidia, version 358.91 bears WHQL certification and is available presently in the GeForce Experience client. If you’d prefer to install them yourself, you can grab Nvidia’s new drivers for Windows 10, as well as Windows 7 and 8.1, directly from the company website.

If you've ever owned an Exynos-powered Galaxy phone, you already know the drill: heavy tasks like capturing back-to-back pictures or photos for a while, heavy gaming, or rendering videos turn your device into a hand warmer. 

In such a situation, the battery bar drops faster than usual as well. Turns out, Samsung might be working on the fix, and it's coming in a way nobody expected.

Buying a monitor? This Mac app can expose problems before the return window closes
Your new monitor may look perfect, but it doesn't hurt to double check.
Screen Test v1.1

Making a brand-new tech purchase doesn't always carry the guarantee of a perfectly functioning unit. But a tiny Mac app called Screen Test can help you find a defect before it gets too late. Screen Test (version 1.1) is a native macOS utility containing more than 25 patterns and diagnostic tools for evaluating built-in and external displays. It can help reveal dead or stuck pixels, backlight bleeding, and other issues. The app works completely offline, so you don't have to rely on browser tabs or an internet connection.
