Nvidia announced its new graphics drivers GeForce 456.71 WHQL Game Ready, which include the improvements seen in the GeForce 456.71 hotfix, but now in the form of certified drivers. Additionally, support is added for the Beta of the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War which also includes latency reduction technology Nvidia Reflex.

In this way, the drivers resolve that when running a game in full screen it may appear a black screen using a monitor with Adaptive Sync technology with G-Sync technology enabled. The ‘crashes’ you experience are solved Fortnite, in gaming laptops, when activating reflections or shadows with RayTracing technology activated; and it is resolved that the Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition experience a noticeable loss of performance when turning on GPU Scheduling hardware acceleration.
