Nvidia 471.68 driver has support for Psychonauts 2, Naraka: Bladepoint, and more

Nvidia's first graphics driver of August landed today with support for a multitude of upcoming launches and even a highly anticipated open beta. The GeForce Game Ready 471.68 WHQL driver also brings more G-Sync compatible displays to the mix, plus bug fixes.

 

Naraka: Bladepoint, the fantasy battle royale title, is exiting beta and launching in full on August 12 worldwide. From Nvidia's end, the game is receiving DLSS and Reflex support, so graphics card owners from the green team are expected to install the latest driver to get the best experience.

 

Back 4 Blood's open beta is kicking off also on August 12, and this driver is providing official support. DLSS is present in this cooperative zombie shooter as well. Lastly in the supported games section is Psychonauts 2, the Double Fine Productions-developed action platformer that is slated to launch on August 25.

 

Meanwhile, seven more displays have received G-sync compatible validation with this driver. The latest displays are the AOC AG274FG8R4+ and AG274QG3R4B+, ASUS VG258QM and PG32UQ, Lenovo G24-20, MSI G251F, and the ViewSonic XG320Q.
