NVIDIA has rolled out a new version of its GeForce Game Ready graphics driver, namely version 516.94, which includes support for Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered that utilizes gaming technologies such as NVIDIA DLSS, DLAA, HBAO+, as well as upgraded ray-tracing effects.

In addition to that, this new update should enhance the gaming experience for Madden NFL 23, SUPER PEOPLE, and Apex Legends, improve Red Dead Redemption 2 performance when using DLSS, and make sure Overwatch will not freeze when launching a match.

If applied, NVIDIA’s release also fixes Dungeons 3 crashes upon startup, resolves Destiny 2 freeze events after launch or during gameplay, removes flashing black boxes seen in Prepar3D light sources, and ensures Chivalry 2 won’t experience any problems when toggling DLSS presets.

Besides these changes, the 516.94 version improves Xbox application so that it works well with windowed G-SYNC, fixes a bug that caused audio to drop out in NVIDIA Ampere GPU, and resolves windows brightness issues encountered with MSI GE66 Raider 10UG and GE76 Raider 10UH notebooks.

As for known issues, the current package might still experience Forza Horizon 5 rainbow-like artifacts, problems with toggling HDR on and off in-game (decreases game stability), lower performance in Minecraft Java Edition, and other problems as highlighted in the Release Notes below.

When it comes to compatibility, version 516.94 is suitable for both desktop and notebook configurations that are powered by one of Microsoft’s Windows 10 or 11 platforms (only for 64-bit architectures).

Therefore, if you intend to apply this package, save the proper one for your device, run it, wait as the wizard extracts all files required for the installation, and follow all instructions displayed for a complete upgrade.

Last but not least, once finished, it would be a good idea to perform a system reboot to allow all changes to take effect properly. If this task isn’t requested automatically by the wizard, make sure to carry it out manually to avoid any unwanted problems.

In other words, download NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Driver 516.94, apply it to your system, and enjoy the changes this new version brings about. Also, check our website constantly to stay up to speed with the latest releases.
