NVIDIA's new graphics driver supports Doom: The Dark Ages and fixes a few more bugs

NVIDIA has released a new graphics driver which comes with support for Doom: The Dark Ages, and more besides.

The hotly anticipated shooter gets full support in the GeForce Game Ready Driver version 576.40, and Doom: The Dark Ages boasts support for DLSS 4 with MFG (Multi Frame Generation) as well as NVIDIA Reflex for latency reduction.

NVIDIA is bundling this fresh take on Doom with its RTX 5000 graphics cards, so you get the Premium Edition of The Dark Ages (normal cost $100) with a GeForce RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti, or 5070 desktop graphics card (from a qualifying retailer). This also applies to certain laptops with those same Blackwell GPUs.

Elsewhere in this new driver release, New World: Aeternum also gets DLSS 4 with MFG and NVIDIA Reflex support. If that game rings a bell, but you can't quite place it, Aeternum is the second take on Amazon's MMO from some time back (2021), which has received rather mixed reactions. (It's far from all bad, though, and the combat remains a highlight for many gamers - but end game content is more controversial).

In its release notes, Team Green also informed us that there are 15 new (or updated) DLSS overrides for the NVIDIA App, as well as support for seven new G-Sync monitors.

The DLSS overrides are for the following games:

• Bodycam
• Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
• Commandos Origins
• Lost Skies
• Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree
• Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
• Necrophosis
• New World: Aeternum
• No More Room in Hell 2
• RuneScape: Dragonwilds
• Spirit of the North 2
• Steel Seed
• Tempest Rising
• The Talos Principle: Reawakened
• Warframe

There are also some important fixes for bugs with specific games, namely Monster Hunter Wilds - which has "random stability issues" (presumably crashing) that are now cured - and the Dead Space Remake no longer suffers from distracting shadow flicker with RTX 5000 graphics cards.
