GeForce Driver 430.86: Support for New G-Sync Compatible Monitors, VR Headsets and Games

For Computex 2019, NVIDIA introduced the latest GeForce Game Ready 430.86 driver with WHQL certification. Its key innovation was support for G-Sync compatibility with three more monitors: Dell 52417HGF, HP X25 and LG 27GL850. Thus, the total number of displays compatible with G-Sync (we are talking, in fact, about support for AMD FreeSync frame synchronization technology) is now reached 28.

At the same time, the company reports that it has already tested 503 monitors with support for VESA Adaptive Sync, and from this huge list, only 28 satisfied its requirements. This means that 94,4% of displays are not G-Sync compatible. The company claims that 273 of the tested displays failed due to insufficient variable frequency range. Another 202 failed due to poor image quality (such as flickering, dimming, flickering, or ghosting). 55 percent of the monitors we tested had variable refresh rates below 75Hz, so for many high frame rate games, adaptive sync doesn't make sense at all.

In addition, the GeForce 430.86 driver brings support for new games, providing them with an optimal environment. This is about Quake II RTX (NVIDIA's redesigned classic shooter with path tracing support) and racing car simulator Assetto Corsa Competizione. In addition, the driver brings support for the Oculus Rift S and HTC Vive Pro Eye helmets.

Among the fixes in this driver release are Adobe Premiere Pro instability and poor performance of GeForced RTX 2080 mobile graphics in Resolume Arena 6 when outputting to two 4K displays. The GeForce Game Ready 430.86 WHQL driver is dated May 27, and you can download it in versions for 64-bit Windows 7 and Windows 10 through the GeForce Experience utility or from NVIDIA official website.
