Mid-June kicked up a storm of poop across the internet when IGN broke the AMD optimizations for Frostbite 3. It was reported that NVIDIA would not receive sample code for those games until after they launched. The article was later updated with a statement from AMD: "… the AMD Gaming Evolved program undertakes no efforts to prevent our competition from optimizing for games before their release."

Now, I assume, the confusion was caused by then-not-announced Mantle.

And, as it turns out, NVIDIA did receive the code for Battlefield 4 prior to launch. Monday, the company launched their 331.58 WHQL-certified drivers which are optimized for Batman: Arkham Origins and Battlefield 4. According to the release notes, you should even be able to use SLi out of the gate. If, on the other hand, you are a Civilization V player: HBAO+ should enhance your shadowing.

They also added a DX11 SLi profile for Watch Dogs… awkwarrrrrd.
