NVIDIA's New Driver Boosts Battlefield 6, CoD Black Ops 7 with DLSS 4; Expands Select PhysX Support
  • NVIDIA released the GeForce 591.44 WHQL Game Ready driver, adding DLSS 4 with Multi-Frame Generation for Battlefield 6: Winter Offensive and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, and expanding 32-bit PhysX effects for select classic titles on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs.

  • The driver includes general bug fixes such as resolving Adobe Premiere Pro export freezes with hardware encoding, improving Sophos Home stability, and addressing a green line issue when viewing videos in Chromium on RTX 50 Series GPUs.

  • A rotating list of supported titles remains, including Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, Batman: Arkham City, Batman: Arkham Origins, Borderlands 2, Mafia II, Metro 2033, Metro: Last Light, and Mirror’s Edge, with Batman: Arkham Asylum slated for support in early 2026.

  • The piece notes PhysX’s decline in the late 2010s due to its CUDA dependency and competition from more flexible physics solutions, with some developers moving to custom frameworks.

  • Users can still play these games with PhysX disabled, but will lose immersive physics-based visuals and effects.

  • There is no announced timeline for future updates to additional 32-bit PhysX titles beyond the current list.

  • Community discussions suggest more than 40 games were affected by the loss of PhysX on RTX 50-series, making universal support unlikely.

  • The new PhysX support is experimental and selective; not all PhysX-accelerated games are supported yet, and Nvidia has not indicated plans for universal expansion.

  • NVIDIA emphasizes the support is not universal and will cover only a subset of titles for now, with broader compatibility unlikely.

  • Community data estimate around 40 titles were impacted by the deprecation, with the driver addressing roughly a quarter of the broken library, while some niche titles may remain nonfunctional unless whitelists expand.

  • GTX 900 and GTX 10 series GPUs are no longer supported by this driver and will not work with the 591.44 update.

  • DLSS 4 and Multi-Frame Generation aim to boost frame rates via AI-generated frames and upscaling, though latency benefits vary by resolution and settings.
