NVIDIA has just released a new driver for its graphics cards, and from the looks of it, it adds initial support for DLSS 5. So, let’s take a closer look at it.
As Guru3D’s Warkratos discovered, the new GeForce Game Ready 610.47 adds three DLSS 5 settings. These are DLSS-NR, DLSS-NR Streamline, and DLSS-NR Presets.
To find these strings, you’ll have to use the Nvidia Inspector Tool. And, in case you’re wondering, no. You cannot force DLSS 5 in any game right now. Even if you enable the preset via the tool, you won’t get any DLSS 5 effects in any game.
For those who did not know, DLSS 5 introduces a real-time neural rendering model that infuses pixels with photoreal lighting and materials. DLSS 5 aims to empower game developers to deliver a new level of photoreal computer graphics previously only achieved in Hollywood visual effects. Or at least that’s what NVIDIA claims.
DLSS 5 will take a game’s color and motion vectors for each frame as input. It will then use an AI model to infuse the scene with photoreal lighting and materials that are anchored to source 3D content and consistent from frame to frame. DLSS 5 will run in real time at up to 4K resolution for smooth, interactive gameplay.
From the looks of it, the green team is preparing its drivers for DLSS 5. As I said, this is initial support for it. In other words, for most of you, it’s a nothing-burger. Still, it shows that NVIDIA has not abandoned its plans for DLSS 5, despite the early harsh criticism surrounding it.
NVIDIA has stated that DLSS 5 will become available in Fall 2026. The first games that will support it are AION 2, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Black State, CINDER CITY, Delta Force, Hogwarts Legacy, Justice, NARAKA: BLADEPOINT, NTE: Neverness to Everness, Phantom Blade Zero, Resident Evil Requiem, Sea of Remnants, Starfield, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, and Where Winds Meet.
It’s also worth noting that this new NVIDIA driver sunsets the NVIDIA Control Panel. As such, NVIDIA users will have to either use the NVIDIA App or the NVIDIA Inspector Tool.
Finally, the NVIDIA GeForce Game Ready 610.47 WHQL driver adds official support for 007 First Light. For our benchmarks, I used the previous driver (as I did not have access to this new driver). Despite that, the game ran incredibly well with it. So, realistically, I don’t expect any major performance improvements from this new driver.
Anyway, those interested can download this new NVIDIA driver from this link.
