Before getting into the news, we have to give some bad news, since NVIDIA 471.xx and higher drivers no longer support NVIDIA Kepler architecture GPUs. This means that NVIDIA GeForce GTX 6xx and 7xx graphics cards are not compatible with these new NVIDIA drivers.
Doom Eternal is updated with NVIDIA 471.11 WHQL Drivers
Id software’s latest big hit, the now classic in PC video game history, Doom Eternal, isn’t a game that debuted this year, but like many other cutting-edge graphics games. that are on the market, and as was the recent case of Metro Exodus. Doom Eternal has been updated to take advantage of Ray Tracing and Super Resolution Technology via AI which is DLSS from NVIDIA. So if you want the highest level of Doom Eternal, you just need to install the latest NVIDIA driver, 471.11 WHQL, as Game Ready profiles have been added for the game.
It’s not the only game that has Game Ready profiles, and if you’re a Formula 1 fan, be aware that thEA Codemasters’ new F1 2021 also received one. Plus the latest multiplayer hit Escape from Tarkov tiene perfil Game Ready y is now compatible with NVIDIA Reflex.
DLSS is finally coming to Linux
Perhaps the most notable new feature of the NVIDIA 477.11 WHQL drivers is the Support for NVIDIA DLSS technology in Proton, allowing Windows games to run on Linux. Thanks to this, Linux users will be able to improve their frame rates without losing image quality thanks to the AI scaling algorithm for NVIDIA GPUs.
For the time being the only game that supports it is Doom Eternal, but No Man’s Sky and Wolfestein Youngblood will be added shortly. All three use the Vulkan API, but NVIDIA plans to include those that work with the DirectX API. This is therefore an important performance step for Linux users who use Proton to play their favorite games without having to go through Windows.
