NVIDIA Releases 376.19 WHQL Driver Update: Game Ready Oculus Touch and Two Giveaways

This week we are finally seeing the long-awaited release of the Oculus touch controllers and the collection of games following in its wake. As a result, we also seem to get another NVIDIA driver as well. This is a minor update with a small handful of bug fixes, but still continuing driver release 375. 

Fixes this week are that NVIDIA has resolved an issue where No Mans Sky showed severe texture corruption under Foundation Update 1.10 with SLI enabled. We also have fixes in for Notebook G-SYNC for a flickering issue and an issue with the G-SYNC pendulum demo.

Driving home this update we are given game ready support for Oculus Touch launch titles. This list Includes but is not limited to NVIDIA’s VR Funhouse, SuperHOT VR and Ripcoil.
