Nvidia GeForce driver 580.88 offers DLSS4 for Expedition 33 and Mafia: The Old Country while extending Windows 10 support to 2026

Nvidia released its latest GeForce Game Ready Driver (version 580.88 WHQL) on July 31, 2025. The new driver is packed with optimizations for both older and upcoming highly anticipated titles. The latest Game Ready driver is fine-tuned for 2K Games’ Mafia: The Old Country, which is slated to release on August 8, 2025.

Claire Obscur: Expedition 33, and Mafia: The Old Country will enjoy DLSS4 support that includes Multi-Frame Generation, DLSS Super Resolution, and Nvidia Reflex, ensuring RTX 40 and 50 series users get significant frame rate bumps with minimal input latency added into the mix.

Perhaps more importantly for users looking to grab a new monitor in an increasingly competitive market, the driver also adds support for 62 new G-Sync compatible displays, including Acer, AOC, ASUS, Gigabyte, LG, Philips, Samsung, ViewSonic, and MSI for tear-free gaming.

Game optimizations aside, Nvidia made a welcome support extension announcement for Windows 10 users even as Microsoft is set to end support for the decade-old operating system on October 14, 2025.

Nvidia has decided to extend Game Ready Driver support for all of its GeForce RTX GPUs until October 6, 2026, a solid year after the end of Windows 10’s life cycle. This announcement comes amid the fact that Windows 10 gamers still make up more than a 3rd of the total addressable gaming market on PC, based on numbers published by Steam.

Microsoft has tried to push Windows 10 users to its latest operating system for a while, so this decision practically comes as an important lifeline for Windows 10 users unwilling to move to the Redmond-based tech giant’s latest OS offering.

For older hardware options, however, Nvidia has chalked up a roadmap for GPUs like the GTX 1060. GPUs based on the Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta architectures will receive a final Game Ready Driver in October 2025 before the semiconductor giant discontinues driver support in terms of optimization.

Afterward, the GPUs will receive quarterly security updates until October 2028, extending support to 11 years, well beyond industry practices. However, CUDA support will also end with the next CUDA Toolkit update, barring users from further optimization for compute-heavy tasks.

For those interested in fixes for their game libraries, the 580.88 driver update also addresses several game bugs:

• Fixed ray tracing artifacts in World of Warcraft.
• Addressed performance dips in Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered.
• Fixed crashes in Control and EA Sports FC 25.
• Patched random square artifacts around lights in Battlefield 2042.
• Fixed object artifacts in Starcraft: Remastered.
• Addressed micro-stuttering issues when VSYNC is enabled in Cyberpunk 2077.
• Patched water surface artifacts in JX Online 3.
• Resolved 32-bit game crashes when using the DXVK translation layer.
• Fixed instances of game crashes in Control when ray tracing is enabled.
• Resolved game crashes on startup in Dirt 5.
• Patched corruption in water in ABZU.
