You Should Update Your Video Card Drivers Before You Play Cyberpunk 2077

Night City is a huge place, and it will take some hardware muscle to truly display it in all its glory. CD Projekt Red’s QA Lead Åukasz Babiel tweeted today letting players know about new Nvidia drivers:

Quick PSA for PC players. A second ago @nvidia released new drivers update (460.79). If you want the best experience with @CyberpunkGame – go to Nvidia GeForce Experience and check for updates or go to Nvidia webpage and download newest drivers while waiting for the release. pic.twitter.com/LmoHY5rTdF

The latest GeForce Game Ready driver has some specific support for Cyberpunk 2077, including ray tracing and performance-accelerating NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), as well as support for G-SYNC compatible gaming monitors.

AMD also recently released new drivers specifically for Cyberpunk 2077 and the Radeon RX 6900 series.

Given what we know about performance issues, grabbing the new drivers for your card before launch seems to be a wise choice. Just one more thing to do while you wait (assuming you’ve already preloaded)!
