NVIDIA Prepares You for Batman: AO & Battlefield 4 with GeForce 331.58 WHQL Driver

Your eyes are not deceiving you: NVIDIA has just dropped a brand-new GeForce driver, and it’s not a beta! At the forefront, the 331.58 WHQL driver adds official support for Batman: Arkham Origins (due out on Friday) and Battlefield 4 (due out next Tuesday), along with the usual onslaught of profile updates (SLI and otherwise). In addition, the Ambient Occlusion feature that had been added to recent beta drivers has been merged into this final release, allowing you to force AO in select games that don’t natively support it.
