NVIDIA Releases GeForce Game Ready 546.29 WHQL Driver for Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.1 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and Warzone, with Full Ray Tracing with DLSS Ray Reconstruction Coming to Lobbies This Week

NVIDIA has announced that the new GeForce Game Ready 546.29 WHQL driver is now available to download through GeForce Experience.

Per a breakdown from NVIDIA, this driver is game ready for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, Call of Duty: Warzone, and Cyberpunk 2077, all of which are getting visual updates this week:

• Call of Duty: Warzone upgrades to DLSS 3 on December 6th.
• Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and Call of Duty: Warzone also introduce Full Ray Tracing with DLSS Ray Reconstruction to lobbies on the same day.
• Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition and Update 2.1 further improve image quality and immersion with DLSS Ray Reconstruction and full ray tracing enhancements on December 5th.

Here’s what Call of Duty players can expect to see as early as Wednesday, per NVIDIA:

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and Warzone lobbies add full ray tracing and Ray Reconstruction to enhance the appearance of your loadout, characters and vehicles, and Call of Duty: Warzone adds support for DLSS 3, following its addition to all other modes and campaigns.

With the release of Season 1 for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and Call of Duty: Warzone, NVIDIA DLSS 3, NVIDIA DLSS 2, NVIDIA DLAA, NVIDIA Reflex, and NVIDIA Image Scaling are now supported in all modes, as well in every Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II mode, giving GeForce RTX gamers the definitive PC experience.

On December 6th, GeForce RTX gamers can activate full ray tracing in the lobbies of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and Call of Duty: Warzone, enabling you to see your characters, skins, vehicles, and weapons in an entirely new light.

And here’s what NVIDIA had to say about Cyberpunk 2077’s new 2.1 update, which ships tomorrow alongside the Ultimate Edition of the game:

Before the release of Update 2.1, some scenes were darker than intended due to the loss of lighting energy during denoising. Using ReSTIR GI, local lighting is appropriately bright, and light now travels further, illuminating a scene further into the distance and increasing the brightness of previously illuminated detail.

In Update 2.0, the movement of dynamic characters, the equipping of new weapons and items, or the moving of the camera could cause full ray tracing to visibly update in areas that were previously occluded. With the introduction of ReSTIR GI in Update 2.1, disocclusion noise has been greatly reduced.

In conjunction with Ray Reconstruction enhancements in Update 2.1, ReSTIR GI significantly reduces the ghosting of moving game elements and their shadows, further improving image quality and immersion.
