How long has it been since I upgraded the driver or clicking on graphics card driver to make trouble?
One-click optimization driver for 24 games has come.
NVIDIA has just released the GeForce 471.96 official graphics card driver, adding GeForce Experience optimized configuration that supports 24 games and 6 new G-Sync compatible monitors. GeForce Experience one-click optimization settings can allow NVIDIA graphics card players to obtain the best gaming performance in the simplest way, fully unleash the potential of graphics card , and have supported more than 1,000 games, and this time it has added up to 24 models at one time! Among the six new G-Sync compatible monitors supported by
, it is particularly worth mentioning that Xiaomi TV Master 77-inch OLED version, and there are also one each of EVE Spectrum, Lenovo , MSI , Philips , and Youpai .

New driver also fixed six bugs, including the NVDisplay.Container.exe process continues to write data to C:ProgrAMDataNVIDIA CorporationNVtopsnvtops.db3, GPU frequency in mixed graphics mode on the notebook is too high when standby, and DPC delay is too high in 8-bit color, etc.
black technology that greatly improves gaming performance
Last year, AMD released the RX6000 series graphics card. Combined with its own Zen3 processor, the "Smart Access Memory" (SAM) technology can be enabled, allowing the CPU to directly process data in the video memory, saving memory I/O latency, and bringing significant performance improvements in supported games. However, this technology is not unique to AMD. Now, NV also supports similar technologies!
has brought a similar technology "Resizable BAR" (hereinafter referred to as BAR) in the newly released graphics card driver of NV, which can greatly increase the number of game frames! Similar to AMD's SAM, BAR also has rigid requirements for the hardware platform. According to NV official statement, BAR requires support from the 400 and 500 series chipsets and Zen3 CPUs of the AMD platform, or the 10th and 11th generation chipsets and CPUs of the Intel platform, as shown in the table below.

Currently, ASUS , ASRock , Radio , Radio , EVGA, MSI and Gibetes have all equipped their corresponding motherboards with BAR-enabled BIOS. Users can upgrade the corresponding BIOS and then turn on BAR in the BIOS settings. In this way, the platform preparation work will be completed.

However, only the N cards of the RTX3000 series support BAR, and corresponding VBIOS support is also required. Currently, the RTX 3060 has already used VBIOS that supports BAR when it is shipped. For other graphics cards, you need to upgrade the latest VBIOS to support BAR. These graphics cards include GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, 3070, 3080 and 3090.
Generally speaking, the VBIOS of the graphics card is provided by the AIC manufacturer. For example, if the graphics card of Asus wants to upgrade to VBIOS, you need to search on the Asus official website. Of course, if you are an experienced player, you can also upgrade through third-party VBIOS channels and tools. For example, using TechPowerUp, the N-card VBIOS flashing tool "NVFLash" to flash the corresponding VBIOS. After
has completed the preparation work, you can enable BAR support in the BIOS and then upgrade to the latest driver of the NVIDIA graphics card.

By observing the comparison data provided by NVIDIA, it can be seen that the improvement brought by BAR is still quite obvious.
