Nvidia 572.16 driver lands with support for RTX 5090, 5080 GPUs and DLSS 4

Nvidia's brand-new graphics card lineup debuts today with the GeForce RTX 5090 and GeForce RTX 5080 GPUs. To match them, the company has now released the GeForce Game Ready Driver 572.16 WHQL driver. It touts support for the new hardware, as well as Nvidia's new and improved DLSS 4 upscaler with multi frame generation, as well as optimizations for a couple of new games.

As such, those looking to jump into Marvel's Spider-Man 2 or Kingdom Come: Deliverance II will want to install this driver for optimal performance.

Here are all the technology upgrades this driver brings along, which are mostly for 50 series cards:

• DLSS 4: New AI innovations further enhance image quality, and accelerate performance. And DLSS Multi Frame Generation, in conjunction with the suite of other DLSS technologies, multiplies frame rates by up to 8X on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs
• DLSS 4 Overrides: Upgrade over 75 games and apps to DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation using a new NVIDIA app feature
• NVIDIA App: RTX Video Super Resolution optimizations and enhancements, new multiple display settings, Advanced Optimus support, and more are introduced in a new NVIDIA app update

• NVIDIA Smooth Motion: A new driver-based AI model delivers smoother gameplay by inferring an additional frame between two rendered frames on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs
