NVIDIA has rolled out a new version of its GeForce Graphics driver, namely build 442.19, which is the Game Ready driver when it comes to the Zombie Army: Dead War 4 title, but provides performance optimizations, profiles, and bug fixes for Apex Legends Season 4 and Metro Exodus: Sam’s Story as well.

In addition to that, the 442.19 release adds Virtual Reality - Variable Rate Super Sampling (VRSS) setting VR applications profiled for VRSS, extends Maximum Frame Rate values (min=20, max=1000), and fixes The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Blood and Wine crash events.

Moreover, the current update resolves Call of Duty Modern Warfare streaming problems, make sure Doom (2016) doesn’t crash when launched on GeForce 600/700 series (Kepler) GPUs, correct NVENC memory leak, and implements several other changes as highlighted in the Release Notes below.

As for the operating systems, the update is compatible with 64-bit variants of Microsoft’s Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 platforms (both desktop or notebooks). Also, take into account that there are two available packages for Windows 10: one standard and one DCH driver.

Regarding installation, first ensure this release supports your GPU model, save the appropriate package compatible with your operating system, run it, and wait for the wizard to extract all files required for the upgrade.

Afterward, follow all on-screen instructions for a complete and successful installation. Also, it would be a good idea to perform a system reboot to allow all changes to take effect properly.

That said, download NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Driver 442.19, apply it on your computer, and regularly check our website to be aware when a newer version is available for download.
