Made The Jump To Windows 10? NVIDIA And AMD Have New Graphics Drivers For You
Windows 10 is here, Windows 10 is HERE! Of course, you already knew that and might have even upgraded all your of your systems already. Well done, Johnny Boy! Now that you're part of the 'Last version of Windows, ever' club, take a moment to also upgrade your graphics drivers. It won't take long, and then you can go back to playing with all the new bells and whistles of your OS (tell Cortana we said 'Hi!').
Let's start with AMD, otherwise known as the company that releases new non-beta Catalyst drivers only slightly more frequently than Halley's Comet comes around. The next one isn't due for an appearance until around this time in the year 2061 (Halley's Comet, that is), but if you're Team AMD in the graphics department, Catalyst 15.7.1 is the driver for you (save for Apple Boot Camp users -- contact your manufacturer for driver assistance instead of installing this, AMD says).
Catalyst 15.7.1 brings full support for Windows 10. It also introduces a bevy of resolved issues. Here's just a sampling of the bugs it stomps out:
To state the obvious, GeForce 353.62 delivers the best gaming experience in Windows 10, along with Windows 8.1/7/XP. No 3D Vision profiles were added with this release, though the driver release does bring along several new SLI profiles, including Metro: Last Light, MotoGP 15, Total War: Arena, and more.
You can also expect a few bug fixes, such as the cursor not tracking the mouse correctly in Windows 10.
When you're ready, you can grab AMD Catalyst 15.7.1 here and GeForce 353.62 here.
