A few moments ago, NVIDIA rolled out a new version of its GeForce Graphics driver, namely 397.31, which is the Game Ready driver that should provide an optimal experience while playing BattleTech and FrostPunk titles.

In addition to that, this update also resolves crashes, flickering events, and corruptions seen in Doom, Far Cry 5, Rise of Tomb Raider, and Diablo III games, fixes the TDR error encountered while using Firefox, and implements several enhancements as highlighted in the Release Notes below.

When it comes to compatibility, beginning with Release 396, NVIDIA will no longer release Game Ready drivers for 32-bit operating systems. Therefore, version 397.31 is only suitable for the 64-bit architecture of Microsoft’s Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 operating systems.

Moreover, take into account that there are separate packages targeted at desktop and notebook configurations, so make sure to download the appropriate one for your computer. Do not try installing these files on other OSes, as this can lead to various malfunctions.

Therefore, to apply this new version, save and run the appropriate executable for your system configuration, wait for all files required for the installation to be extracted, and follow all instructions displayed on the screen for a complete upgrade.

Last but not least, once finished, it would be a good idea to perform a reboot to allow all changes to take effect properly. If this task isn’t requested automatically, make sure to carry it out manually to avoid any unwanted problems.

That said, download NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Driver 397.31, follow all instructions highlighted above, and check back with us constantly to be aware when a newer version is available for download.
