NVIDIA GeForce 576.52 WHQL Driver Is Available for Download

11 Comments

NVIDIA has released a new driver for its graphics cards. According to the release notes, the NVIDIA GeForce 576.52 WHQL driver adds official support for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060, which came out a couple of days ago. It also offers the best gaming experience in F1 25 and Dune: Awakening.

NVIDIA says that the new driver gives the best performance in NARAKA: BLADEPOINT, which now supports Full Ray Tracing. Usually, when NVIDIA says “Full Ray Tracing,” they mean Path Tracing. But in this case, the May 2025 Update does not add Path Tracing to the game. Instead, it adds Ray Tracing for Global Illumination and Reflections. This means the game will now have better lighting and more realistic reflections, but not the full Path Tracing effect. I don’t know why the green team used the term “Full Ray Tracing” here. What I can say, though, is that this isn’t Full Ray Tracing.

This driver also comes with a number of bug fixes. For instance, it fixes some crashes that could occur in F1 23 and F1 24. It also resolves a crash that could happen in SCUM. Diablo II Resurrected will no longer display black screen corruption when using DLSS. Plus, Shader disk cache can now be created with certain games if OS username contains unicode characters.

Now, let’s take a look at the known issues. Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut still suffers from some flickering issues around light sources. On the other hand, Cyberpunk 2077 will crash when using Photo Mode to take a screenshot with Path Tracing. Then we have EA Sports FC 25, which can randomly crash during gameplay. And, finally, Forza Horizon 5 still has some stability issues. The game may crash after extended gameplay.

As I’ve said numerous times, you can skip this driver if you are not interested in the above games. If, on the other hand, you want to keep your system up to date, you can go ahead and download the driver from this link. Below, you can also find its complete changelog.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
