NVIDIA uploaded its new GeForce 385.69 WHQL driver, you can grab it over here.

This is the Game Ready release for Project Cars 2, Call of Duty: WWII open beta, Total War: WARHAMMER II, Forza Motorsport 7, EVE: Valkyrie – Warzone, FIFA 18, Raiders of the Broken Planet, and Star Wars Battlefront 2 open beta.

Additionally, it also features optimizations for EVE: Valkyrie – Warzone and From Other Suns open beta, two virtual reality (VR) games.

Security updates for video card drivers are kinda rare but it looks like NVIDIA found a vulnerability as this release features security updates for certain driver components.
