NVIDIA today released the latest version of its GeForce Game Ready drivers. Version 471.11 WHQL comes with optimization for the upcoming patch of "DOOM Eternal" that enables DLSS support. The patch is expected to go live on June 29. The drivers also add optimization for "LEGO Builder's Journey," including RTX raytracing and DLSS support. Optimization is also added for F1 2021, and NVIDIA Reflex integration for "Escape from Tarkov." In addition to these, the drivers add OS optimization for Windows 10 May 2021 Update (21H1).

Among the issues fixed with this release are random flickers with WoW Shadowlands; a blackscreen issue with GeForce GTX 980M SLI notebooks; FreeStyle not working on "Crossfire" (the game) after a game update; certain HDMI displays flickering in HDR mode; incorrect color rendering with the "sharpen" FreeStyle filter being enabled with HDR on RTX 30-series GPUs; and flickering and signal connectivity issues with launching a game on a machine with multi-monitor adaptive-Sync monitors.
