GeForce Windows 10 Driver update for The Phantom Pain

NVIDIA released a new GeForce Game Ready WHQL driver Monday August 31st 2015. This driver coincides with the release of the game Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, which NVIDIA offers for free with the purchase of a new high end graphics card.

Opening NVIDIA GeForce Experience shows you that a new driver is available and by clicking Download driver it will update directly from here or you can find version 355.82 on  NVIDIA’s website which says:

The latest GeForce Game Ready driver, release 355.82 WHQL, ensures you’ll have the best possible gaming experience for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and Mad Max.

It adds game improvements like SLI profiles and Application Profiles to tweak for better game play in The Phantom Pain. On my GTX 970 I did notice an increase in FPS overall, of course the game is locked to 60 frames per second (FPS) so there is already a limit to performance in that way.

The driver will download and then a new screen opens to install the driver. While mine was installing I actually saw a banner ad for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, which I guess is no surprise considering the NVIDIA logo shows up in game every time you load for the first time.

AMD also updated their driver to Catalyst 15.8 Beta drivers and you find more info here. Time to play some MGS V: The Phantom Pain!
