The Phantom Pain gets some very real Day 1 Game Ready Drivers for NVIDIA hardware in advance of the game’s launch on September 1st.
Continuing their trend of day-one game ready drivers for all the latest AAA release, NVIDIA today launched the Game Ready GeForce drivers for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. The GeForce 355.82 WHQL driver package is available for Windows Vista/7/8/8.1 and 10 PCs, and can be found as usual at geforce.co.uk/drivers or updated via the GeForce Experience app.Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain utilises the same game engine as 2014’s MGS: Ground Zeroes, a brief taster of the main franchise title. Ground Zeroes turned out to be an excellent PC port from the get-go, and hopefully The Phantom Pain will be similarly well received.
In addition to best support for The Phantom Pain, the GeForce 355.82 WHQL Game Ready Drivers also include optimisations for the upcoming Mad Max title developed by Avalanche Studios.
