NVIDIA Releases GeForce 572.16 WHQL Game Ready Drivers

[btarunr]

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.

561.09 is the latest driver that work for my dell laptop with tigerlake and mx350. After that i have high CPU around 15% caused by SYSTEM.

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?

NVIDIA improved the power draw on video playback as a whole, not only while VSR was enabled. I tested with a 1440x1080, 24fps AVC source file on the RTX version of VLC, minimums and maximums measured with GPU-Z while the video was playing:

RTX A2000 6GB, professional driver branch

553.62 (R550 U13)

No RTX VSR: 8.2-11.5 W
RTX VSR Quality 3: 44.2-52.4 W
RTX VSR Quality 4: 60.4-71.5 W (power throttled)

572.16 (R570 U1)

No RTX VSR: 7.5-10.3 W
RTX VSR Quality 3: 32.8-39.0 W
RTX VSR Quality 4: 43.2-59.9 W

The power reduction is noticeable and on this tiny slot powered card's (70 W power limit) case, it actually makes Quality 4 usable because there is no power throttling going on. Impressive.

NVIDIA Adds Smooth Motion, a Driver-Based Frame Generation AI Model for RTX 50 GPUs

NVIDIA has added Smooth Motion, a driver-based frame generation AI model available right now for GeForce RTX 50 graphics cards.

Smooth Motion is NVIDIA's answer to AMD's Fluid Motion Frames

Smooth Motion appears to be a form of frame generation that PC gamers can enable in every game, similar to AMD's Fluid Motion Frames.

Correct. But it is confirmed that it's coming to the 40 series soon.

Can someone confirm this fro me. If you DON'T have 50 series card and are using 572.16.
Do programs like HWInfo64 still show Hot Spot temp?
Because for me it's suddenly gone. Always shows zero.

Yes, it shows up fine on both GPU-Z and HWiNFO

Ok. Looks like a problem on my end. Even device restart via devcon did not help. Looks like i have to do a full restart.
