NVIDIA has released the GeForce 581.57 WHQL driver with Game Ready optimizations for new DLSS 4 titles and a collection of stability and visual fixes. The update targets ARC Raiders, The Outer Worlds 2, and Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, and also addresses several game-specific crashes and display glitches users reported after the R580 series drivers.
ARC Raiders is scheduled for release on October 30, while The Outer Worlds 2 and Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 arrive earlier on October 21. All three titles will ship with DLSS 4 support, so this 581.57 driver is recommended ahead of those launches. You can download the driver from the official NVIDIA page: NVIDIA GeForce driver download. Windows 10 remains supported.
This Game Ready release is focused on delivering the best experience for several high-profile launches that utilize DLSS 4. Beyond performance tuning, the package addresses various stability and corruption issues affecting specific games and monitors, which should result in fewer crashes and visual glitches for many users after installation.
