NVIDIA took advantage of the Gamescom To readjust its prices, unveil a game bundle, strengthen its waiting lists for its FE cards, but not just that. He also unveiled the state of his progress on his home technologies. He also took the opportunity to launch the first pilot which serves as a basis for the deployment of his revisited technologies. To take advantage of the latest refinements, you will have to install the pilot in the first place Game Ready 581.08 WHQL. He corrects bugs on Cyberpunk 2077 with photo mode path tracing activated, lower performance on the game Marvel Rivals with the 580.88, a crash with forza Motorsport With Smooth Motion, instabilities on Gray Zone Warfare et ARK Survival Ascended. That’s not all, encoder with Nvenc no longer causes a memory leak, and other bugs with NV App with filters and screensing. But what does it offer again?
We will also have to install the new version of Nv App To take advantage of it. First, the mode DLSS Override (which makes it possible to force the use of the transforming model instead of the previous CNN including in the games not officially taking charge of the first city) is now global, that is to say that it is no longer necessary to adjust it/activate for each compatible game, it is necessary, however, that a DLSS option (whatever its version) is initially present in the game. You therefore activate it with a click within NV AP, and it works on all games present and to come. From a native DLSS 4 native point of view, we can cite Resident Evil Requiem (and even path tracing), Borderlands 4 (Bundle-isé recently), Pragmatic (Ray Tracing also). Cinder City, Phantom Blade Zero / The Outer Worlds 2 / Cronos The New Dawn will add to that Multi Frame Generation. Black State will arrive with the DLSS 4 duo and Ray Tracing, Hell is Us will have the DLSS 4, while Directive 8020 will offer the DLSS 4 / Multi Frame Generation et Path Tracing. The list is still long, but you can consult it on the official page, indeed, it charges so that the games support Nvidia technology.
NV App therefore evolves by simplifying DLSS 4 management in mode Overridereproducing what AMD has done for the FSR 4 which activates globally in the AMD Software, but on a larger scale since this is limited to the compatible titles initially equipped with the FSR 3.1 on the red side. We come to the second novelty, the Smooth Motion. Nvidia had already activated it for the RTX 50s, it now works with the RTX 40, we hope that it will be extended to the RTX 30 and RTX 20. It is activated via NV APP, and offers an image generation assisted by IA, via the pilot, as AMD does with AFMF. It will be interesting to test it, to see if the quality is there, if the performance boost follows, if it is constant or as the passenger AFMF and dependent on the movements / direction of the central character, and if it is devoid of artefacts.
This is basically what you could say, if you already have NV app installed, you should see the update and the pilot and the application directly.
Do not forget the 581.08 driver!
