Nvidia Graphics Driver 388.00: new features and issues

Nvidia released the new Nvidia Graphics Driver 388.00 WHQL to the public with game ready profiles for Destiny 2 and Assassin's Creed Origins.

The new graphics driver is available on Nvidia's driver download page as a standalone download, and also via the company's GeForce Experience service.

We recommend that you remove the old graphics driver completely, and that you install only the Nvidia drivers that you require. You can install the Nvidia graphics driver manually, and may want to disable Nvidia Telemetry services after installation.
