Nvidia launches Game Ready driver for Watch Dogs Legion and more

This is a big week for GeForce gamers, as not only are there new games launching with RTX features, but the RTX 3070 is also about to begin shipping to buyers. With all of that in mind, it is time for a new GeForce driver update.

Today, Nvidia began rolling out its new 457.09 driver, which includes day-one optimisations for Watch Dogs Legion, Ghostrunner, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered, Xuan-Yuan Sword VII and Dirt 5.

The new driver also expands a couple of other GeForce ecosystem features. Four new gaming monitors are now rated as G-Sync Compatible, including the Acer XB323U GX, Asus VG279QL1A, Dell AW2521HFLA and Gigabyte FI25F.
