Nvidia 385.69 driver out for Total War: Warhammer 2, Project Cars 2

You won’t get very far in Project Cars 2 or Forza 7 without a driver, so it’s fortunate that Nvidia’s latest GeForce release (385.69) covers those titles. It’ll also support Total War: Warhammer 2 (the Skaven doomwheels need a driver too), and several other major upcoming betas and games.

These include the Call of Duty WW2 open beta, coming to Steam on 29 September. And the Star Wars Battlefront 2 open beta (that one runs 6 October to 9 October). Football is also in the mix, with 385.69 offering support for FIFA 18 as well. Not that you exactly need driver tweaks to get high frame-rates out of that game.
