Today, NVIDIA has released a new Game Ready driver (version 580.88) for its GeForce graphics cards. It's optimized for the upcoming game Mafia: The Old Country, due to launch on August 8, as well as the highly acclaimed JRPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
As we reported yesterday, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has introduced NVIDIA DLSS Frame Generation with update 1.4. NVIDIA has confirmed though that this actually extends to DLSS Multi Frame Generation, allowing owners of GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs to run the game at even higher frame rates.
A recent update also added DLSS Super Resolution and DLAA support to the popular open world zombie survival game 7 Days to Die. Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma supports DLSS Super Resolution and Frame Generation in the game, with the option to activate DLSS Multi Frame Generation via the NVIDIA app override feature.
Today marks the launch of Dead Take, a first-person psychological horror game crafted by Surgent Studios, the developer behind the Metroidvania game Tales of Kenzera. Featuring a cast of acclaimed actors (Ben Starr, Neil Newbon, Matt Mercer, Laura Bailey, and even Remedy's Sam Lake), Dead Take offers players a nightly visit to a not-so-common haunted mansion. The game will include day one support for NVIDIA DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, DLSS Frame Generation, and DLSS Super Resolution.
Lastly, here's a video of F1 25 showing off its path tracing glory with NVIDIA DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation accelerating frame rates.
NVIDIA also had another announcement to make: after a final Game Ready Driver release in October 2025, GeForce GPUs based on Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta architectures will transition to receiving quarterly security updates for the next three years (through October 2028). The company notes that lifetime support will reach up to 11 years, 'well beyond' industry standards. Furthermore, they will extend Windows 10 Game Ready Driver support for all GeForce RTX GPUs to October 2026, a year beyond the operating system's planned end-of-life, to ensure gamers continue to receive the latest day zero optimizations for new games and apps.
