"Mass Effect: Andromeda" drivers are now available for download from both NVIDIA and AMD a day before the game is unleashed, which will be happening in a few hours. The new game already looks impressive on any PC but an updated graphics drivers will bring the best gaming experience at day one especially with Bioware's stunning visuals albeit a lackluster storytelling.

NVIDIA already rolled out its GeForce Game Ready 378.92 driver that is now downloadable via the GeForce Experience. The NVIDIA "Mass Effect: Andromeda" driver seems to be specifically designed to optimize Bioware's latest release, according to PC Gamer. The graphics driver enables the best day one gaming experience that is vital for those using HDR and 4K resolution. Incidentally, the driver also brings marked improvements to "Rock Band VR" and Oculus Rift, which will be receiving the patches in a few days.

Meanwhile, the "Mass Effect: Andromeda" driver from AMD is also available for download through the Radeon software menu. The Radeon Software version 17.3.2 will deliver 12 percent improvement specifically for those using the RX 480 cards. The upgrades also include the tessellation profile that pushes optimization further for those playing with Radeon GPUs, according to Kitguru. Other features include a fix for the texture corruption issues that were experienced in "The Division" particularly when using DX12 API. Fixes for the black screen and flickering display experienced with "For Honor" is also included in the patch.

Upgrading to the latest "Mass Effect: Andromeda" drivers allows players to achieve an optimal gaming experience especially since Bioware dedicated a lot of resources to deliver a graphics delight although the game has been accused of lackluster storytelling. It appears that Bioware had allocated most of its resources to create the biggest open-world ever when a more linear and tactical approach with solid storytelling would have sufficed according to a Forbes review. Nonetheless, the new game still stands out with its breathtaking vistas and spectacular visuals, which clearly shows why the game is expensive to develop.
