NVIDIA has released its latest GeForce Game Ready Driver, version 576.88 WHQL. This driver update includes optimisations for new game releases, performance enhancements for existing titles, and introduces support for recently launched NVIDIA hardware like the new RTX 5050, a card that has somewhat fallen by the wayside.
The GeForce 576.88 WHQL driver provides Game Ready optimisations for the new mech combat game Mecha BREAK, which is launching with DLSS 4 support. Additionally, this driver delivers performance improvements for Diablo IV and Monster Hunter Wilds, as both titles have received updates incorporating DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation technology. DLSS 4, with its Multi Frame Generation capabilities, is designed to enhance frame rates in supported games and is rolling out at a much faster pace now compared to when it was first announced.
This driver also officially adds support for the new GeForce RTX 5050 desktop and laptop GPUs. Users with these new graphics cards can install this driver to ensure full compatibility and access to the latest features.
Fixes
In addition to game and hardware support, the 576.88 WHQL driver addresses several reported issues:
- Gaming Bug Fixes:
- An issue where GPU video memory operated at a slightly lower speed when NVIDIA Smooth Motion was enabled in games has been resolved.
- A bug in Cyberpunk 2077 that could cause some notebooks to freeze when the NVIDIA App Overlay was used with DLSS Frame Generation enabled has been fixed.
- General Bug Fixes:
- A black screen issue encountered during driver installation on some AMD Ryzen configurations has been addressed.
- A black screen that occurred when switching between 480Hz and 360Hz on Sony SDM-27Q10S monitors has been fixed.
NVIDIA advises users to update to the latest driver to benefit from these optimisations and bug fixes. The GeForce 576.88 WHQL driver is available for download from the official NVIDIA website or through the NVIDIA App.
