As Intel drivers cause woes for users trying to install the October 2018 Update for Windows 10, Nvidia is bringing its A-game when it comes to supporting the latest feature update from Microsoft. After 411.63 WHQL drivers added RTX support to Windows 10, today's 416.16 WHQL drivers further extend compatibility between Windows 10 and Nvidia's latest technology.
The October 2018 Update brings with it a bevvy of new features and refinements, but it also marks the public release of DirextX Ray Tracing (DXR), the newest augmentation for Microsoft's graphics APIs. The drivers from Nvidia adds further support for DXR to Windows 10.
