NVIDIA GeForce Game Ready 572.16 WHQL Driver Released


NVIDIA has just released its new GeForce Game Ready 572.16 WHQL Driver which adds official support for the Blackwell RTX 50 series GPUs.

This driver also provides the best gaming experience for the latest new games supporting DLSS 4 tech, including Cyberpunk 2077, Alan Wake 2, Hogwarts Legacy, Star Wars Outlaws, and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

But what about DLSS 4 and the NVIDIA App? Can you now force the Transformer Model and Multi-Frame Gen into games? Nope, you cannot. I’ve installed the driver on my NVIDIA RTX 5090 and I cannot override the DLSS model presets or Frame Gen. My guess is that NVIDIA will release a new version of the NVIDIA App later today. Or at least that’s my assumption.

I’ll be sure to test DLSS 4 and Multi-Frame Gen in a lot of games when the new NVIDIA App comes out. So, stay tuned for more. Hopefully, we’ll have more to share later today or tomorrow.

From what I can see, the green team hasn’t shared a blog post about this driver. So, it appears that the download link was made public a bit sooner. Nevertheless, you will download this driver straight from NVIDIA. In other words, it isn’t a leak of any of the preview drivers we used for the RTX 5090 or the RTX 5080.

Anyway, the GeForce Game Ready 572.16 WHQL Driver also fixes an issue that could cause flickering on certain G-SYNC Compatible monitors when a game’s FPS was dropping below 60FPS. This is a great QoL improvement. Moreover, the driver improves overall stability on Ubisoft’s games that use the Snowdrop Engine.

You can go ahead and download this new driver from this link. Below you can also find its complete changelog.
