New 355.60 WHQL drivers released by NVidia Corp. for Windows 10
The owners of NVidia Corporation’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) graphic cards may not have had the best start to upgrading to Microsoft Corporation’s (NASDAQ:MSFT) new operating system, Windows 10, which is why the company has decided to release new WHQL drivers for the latest OS. The new set of drivers are version 355.60 and they are available in both 32-bit and 64-bit hardware support. The 32-bit has a size of 217mb, while the 64-bit version has a size of 279mb.
This release is different as compared to other NVidia releases, as this is its preferred Game Ready driver for the upcoming "Ashes of the Singularity" demo, which comes out later this month. Ashes of the Singularity will be the first Real Time Strategy (RTS) game that will have DirectX 12 enabled for the end consumers. However, there is still time for the final version to release as it has a 2016 launch date.
This is NVidia’s first driver launched for the R355 series of cards, so not much is known regarding its capabilities and how much of a boost it will provide to games that will run on DirectX 12.
NVidia is also planning on implementing GameWorks VR technology to consumer end products, as the status of GameWorks VR has now officially moved from alpha to beta stage, confirming that progress has been made by the company to provide a VR experience to the users in the future. A beta SDK has been released for developers, allowing them to further perform test on GameWorks VR.
The official changelog does not say much regarding the driver release, as can be seen here:
“Just in time for the preview of Ashes of the Singularity, this new GeForce Game Ready driver ensures you'll have the best possible gaming experience. This driver also supports the Beta version of the GameWorks VR software development kit (SDK). As a result, users will be able to enjoy the benefits of GameWorks VR with supporting applications and headsets for the first time.”
Drivers for 355.60 WHQL can be downloaded for the 32-bit version here and 64-bit version here for Windows 10.
