The recently unleashed GeForce Game Ready Driver, which carries the version number 572.16, brings support for the newly introduced GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card. This software package improves the gaming experience by bringing DLSS 4 optimizations to more than 75 games and apps. Taking advantage of AI optimizations, DLSS 4 increases image quality while reducing video memory utilization. In most cases, the result is a significant performance boost.
Two of the games that benefit from the new driver are Cyberpunk 2077 and Star Wars Outlaws, but the list also includes titles such as Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Hogwarts Legacy, Alan Wake 2, and others. The highlight is DLSS Multi Frame Generation alongside RTX Video Super Resolution (VSR), which now needs fewer GPU resources and can upscale HDR films, making it more compatible with RTX GPUs.
In addition to DLSS 4, the Game Ready Driver package 572.16 comes with support for 19 new G-Sync Compatible displays from brands such as AOC, MSI, Alienware, and LG. The six games that receive one-click optimal settings presets are Marvel Rivals, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Dynasty Warriors: Origins, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Path of Exile 2, and Supervive.
Together with the latest Nvidia app update, the new driver delivers new AI effects for Nvidia Broadcast and many under-the-hood tweaks and fixes. The SFF-ready Asus Prime GeForce RTX 5080 is currently listed on Amazon as still available, but it carries a price tag of no less than $2,599.99, nearly three times the $999 launch price of the vanilla version.
