NVIDIA Releases GeForce 381.65 Game Ready Drivers

NVIDIA today released GeForce 381.65 WHQL "Game Ready" drivers. The drivers come with optimization for "Quake Champions" closed beta. This isn't, however, the biggest change with these drivers. These are the first WHQL-signed drivers from NVIDIA to support WDDM 2.2, and with it, the upcoming Windows 10 Creators Update, due for April 11th. The drivers also add DTS X and Dolby Atmos support for 5.1.2 speaker configuration through the GPU's in-built audio controller (which outputs from the HDMI and DP connectors). Also added is support for Dolby Vision. Games "Snake Pass" and "Kona" get support for NVIDIA Ansel. There's also the curious case of the driver's release-notes mentioning "Added support for the NVIDIA TITAN Xp." Could this indicate a new TITAN SKU being on the horizon?

Hmmm. Maybe my much delayed Windows 10 Creators Update hands-on needs to include WDDM 2.2 tests... damnit MS/nvidia.

EDIT: NVM, looks like a bunch of mixed reality stuff I can't test. The atmos stuff is interesting though. Definitely giving these a spin.

Ok, so I installed this driver (did a clean uninstall with ddu) and now my framerate in Metro Last Light Redux dropped from a fixed 60 to 35-45 in movement. Has anyone encountered such behavior before in this game?

Looks to be a new PhysX version included. I can't remember the last time they updated that.

THE ONLY CHANGE in this version 9.17.0329 from 9.16.0328 is that this version has new digital signatures on all of the DLLs. Both SAH1 and SHA256 signatures are present.
