Nvidia is releasing a new GeForce Game Ready Driver today, which includes expanded support for Windows 10 devices, optimisations for upcoming games, and G-Sync-compatible displays.
The biggest news for PC gamers is that Windows 10 Game Ready Driver support for GeForce RTX GPUs will now continue until October 2026, a full year after Microsoft ends official support for the OS on October 14, 2025.
This means gamers will keep receiving zero-day optimisations for new games and apps, giving them extra time before upgrading to Windows 11 or whatever OS is next.
Windows 10, despite being a decade old, still has a massive draw. Microsoft has only recently advanced to a state where Windows 11 has surpassed Windows 10, with the newer OS clocking in at 52 percent relative to Windows 10 at 44.59 percent in the Windows market.
Nvidia also offered some good news for hardware no longer relevant. After one last Game Ready Driver release in October 2025, older GPUs based on Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta architecture will continue to receive quarterly security updates until October 2028.
This brings total support for these cards to an impressive 11 years. However, Nvidia confirmed that future updates to the CUDA Toolkit will no longer support those older GPUs.
NVIDIA's new driver update also expands G-Sync coverage, adding 62 new monitor models to the list of supported displays. It also improves performance for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and the upcoming Mafia: The Old Country, which releases on August 8th.
Gamers can download the latest Game Ready Driver directly from Nvidia’s website, ensuring their systems stay optimized, secure, and ready for the next wave of games.
