New Nvidia driver optimises for DOOM Path Tracing, FBC: Firebreak and more

The latest GeForce Game Ready driver has dropped. The new driver delivers a ton of fixes for various games, and adds day-one optimisations for Remedy's new game, FBC: Firebreak. The driver also adds support for the new Path Tracing update for DOOM: The Dark Ages.

Today, FBC: Firebreak, Remedy Entertainment’s fully ray-traced co-op action game, launches with day-one support for DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation and all GeForce RTX gamers can activate DLSS Super Resolution to double performance.

And coming tomorrow, DOOM: The Dark Age update adds path tracing and DLSS Ray Reconstruction, amplifying image quality in the critically acclaimed shooter. DOOM: The Dark Ages features always-on ray-traced global illumination lighting – with path tracing, light from the sun, moon, and hellish skyboxes bounces multiple times, illuminating more game elements at a higher level of detail.

Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks and REMATCH both add DLSS today as well.

To support all of these games, Nvidia has rolled out a new Game Ready driver. The new 576.80 driver can now be downloaded directly from Nvidia or via the Nvidia App.

KitGuru Says: This driver update also seems to fix a lot of flicker and stability issues in various games, so if you've been having issues lately, hopefully this driver will fix things up.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
