Usually, AMD has been the one who release their optimization drivers after Nvidia had already done so. Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition 17.3.1 released and not only has AMD been the first at the race in providing the drivers but it seems that Nvidia may not be providing optimal drivers upon release.
From the Nvidia Forum, users try to explain why that will not be happening:
“Trust me – you won’t see any. And if you’re SLI, you will NOT be seeing any fix from Nvidia. There was a HUGE dispute between Ubisoft and Nvidia during the development of the game. This is why there was no drivers released upon the games’ release date for optimal settings.”
Hardware manufacturers should keep their drivers update and bring them forward as fast as possible to give the end user the smoothest and best possible experience.
