Nvidia's new 580.88 driver adds support for Mafia: The Old Country and Expedition 33

Nvidia graphics card users can now download a new driver update from the company. The WHQL-certified 580.88 Game Ready driver is packing support for the new Mafia game from 2K for day-one optimizations, as well as the recent Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 update that brought along DLSS 4 benefits.

Releasing on August 8, Mafia: The Old Country is slated to land with DLSS 4 support, adding Multi Frame Generation, DLSS Frame Generation, DLSS Super Resolution, and NVIDIA Reflex as GeForce graphics card-exclusive technologies. Meanwhile, matching the new Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 update, DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation has landed for the hit RPG.

The company has also made 62 more displays G-Sync Compatible, making them sure that they deliver a baseline Variable Refresh Rate experience. Find the full list here.

As with many recent drivers from Nvidia, this one also has fixes for a whole lot of issues. Here are the gaming and general bugs resolved in this update:
