NVIDIA Releases GeForce 572.16 WHQL Game Ready Drivers

NVIDIA today released the latest version of its GeForce Game Ready drivers. Version 572.16 WHQL comes with support for the latest NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 "Blackwell" graphics cards, along with all the software framework needed for DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation. DLSS 4 and its updated Transformer-based models for super resolution, ray reconstruction, and frame generation are even available to older generations of GeForce RTX GPUs depending on their hardware capability. The updated super resolution model is available across the GeForce RTX series, the updated ray reconstruction to RTX 40-series and RTX 30-series; and the updated frame generation model to the RTX 40-series. Multi frame generation is exclusive to the RTX 50-series.

A bug that caused G-SYNC compatible monitors to flicker when framerate drops below 60 FPS has been fixed. Micro-stutters noticed with "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle" with V-sync disabled, has been fixed. Stability has been improved for Ubisoft games that use the Snowdrop game engine. The list of games with DLSS 4 multi frame generation support can be found in the table below.

I assume Smooth Motion is like AMD's AFMF, driver-level frame generation but running exclusively on the new 50-series tensor cores?

I don't think anyone has talked about this before?
