New driver update from NVIDIA, with GeForce 551.61 WHQL. With this new version, the company offers us a driver whose control panel has been reworked. The latter, similar to what AMD offers, is a kind of fusion with GeForce Experience!
GeForce 551.61 WHQLD, what’s new :
NVIDIA’s first new feature is its revamped control panel. It comes with a new design and more functions. Broadly speaking, it’s a fusion of GeForce Experience and the basic NVIDIA panel. Like AMD, you’ll be able to set up your games, display, etc. via a single interface.
Other new features include a Game Ready driver for the Nightingale game. With this, it will offer optimal GeForce Experience settings for Granblue Fantasy: Relink, Pacific Drive and Skull and Bones.
