This time, Nvidia is fast in responding to the drivers situation; Mass Effect: Andromeda and Harmonix’s Rock Band VR – an Oculus Rift game- has gotten the new optimization driver 378.92.
For North America, Mass Effect Andromeda is going to be out tomorrow; so far, we don’t know how much the drivers affects the performance of the game until we get our hands on it but it may just make the experience a bit smoother and stable.
With the drivers, the support for Dolby Vision HDR is also added allowing you to use Dolby’s HDR instead of HDR10; this feature is currently only available for ME:A.
