NVIDIA's RTX 5060 Ti desktop GPU launched today, and with it comes a new Game Ready driver.
While the new driver is a requirement to get the RTX 5060 Ti running in your PC, it also comes with a number of other improvements and additions.
For those who've been suffering black screens and random crashes with NVIDIA's newest drivers, there is some good news.
A long list of squashed bugs includes issues with DLSS Frame Gen and G-Sync, specific games, and more.
The driver — GeForce Game Ready 576.02 WHQL — can be downloaded through the NVIDIA App or directly from NVIDIA.com.

What's new in NVIDIA's Game Ready 576.02 driver?
The second-biggest news for gamers (behind the noted bug fixes) will likely be the addition of DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation (MFG) support for two new games.
Black Myth: Wukong has picked up MFG support, and NVIDIA says it can "multiply performance by up to 10X" with a combination of MFG and Super Resolution.
No More Room in Hell 2 has also received the DLSS 4 MFG update to coincide with a major game update. Thanks to a Steam Free Weekend event, it's going to be free-to-play between April 17 and 21.
These two games aren't the only ones picking up extra support. Six other titles have been added to NVIDIA's optimization pool, allowing for one-click performance optimizations:
- Deadlock
- Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced
- Half-Life 2 with RTX
- inZOI
- Monster Hunter Wilds
- The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered
Be sure to check out the full list of games with NVIDIA optimization support, of which there are more than 1,300.

Will the new driver fix the common GeForce issues?
I've yet to test NVIDIA's latest driver, but I know I'm not the only one hoping it finally fixes some of the issues that have been plaguing a wide range of GeForce users.
Indeed, NVIDIA's full release notes come with a long list of stability and bug fixes addressing some of the most common problems experienced by NVIDIA users.
One entry that stands out to me involves "Game stability issues when playing games with DLSS Frame Generation + GSYNC."
This combination seems to be causing the most problems, and it will be interesting to see if NVIDIA has actually fixed the root cause.
As I covered last week, driver issues began in January 2025 with the release of the Game Ready 572.16 package (which dropped alongside the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090).
NVIDIA 50-series buyers were the first to report issues, but 40-series owners weren't far behind, seeing everything from black screens, detection failure, and crashes.
Many users have resorted to rolling back drivers to a time before 50-series cards and their DLSS 4 Multi Frame Gen magic were on the market.
This does, of course, remove the main selling feature, DLSS 4, for NVIDIA's new RTX 5000 GPUs.
We'll ultimately know more once the new Game Ready 576.02 WHQL has been downloaded and tested by the public.
