Periodically, NVIDIA releases new GeForce Game Ready drivers. These controllers are usually optimized for gaming, among other things. Additionally, they usually offer a list of monitors with G-Sync that are added, games compatible with GeForce experiences, and other information. As it could not be otherwise, the resolved issues and a list of known issues are reported.

NVIDIA Image Scaling
A special driver-based scaling system called NVIDIA Image Scale (NIS) which will help improve performance in all games. Performance is increased by rendering the game at a lower resolution and then scaling it to match the monitor’s native resolution. You can activate this function manually from the control Panel then set the game resolution to match. It can also be automatically activated from GeForce Experience.
Activate it from NVIDIA Control Panel:
- We have to open the NVIDIA Control Panel
- We click on Manage 3D settings
- We search and activate Image scaling
- We start the game and in resolution, we set it to a lower resolution than our monitor. The game must run in full screen mode
- The overlay indicator can be turned on and the “NIS” label will appear in the upper left corner of the screen. Green colored text indicates that NIS is scaling the game. If NIS text appears blue, it indicates that the image is being refined but not scaled
Note: For games without full screen mode or if NIS is not enabled, we can set the desktop resolution to the same resolution as the game resolution, by enabling NIS. It is recommended to use the NVIDIA Control Panel to configure or switch between desktop scaling resolutions.
Fixed issues
