The latest NVIDIA GeForce Game Ready Driver, version 595.59, has been released for Windows 10 and 11, bringing support for DLSS 4 in Resident Evil Requiem and a new Game Ready slot for Marathon with Reflex. The driver also includes several bug fixes that should resolve issues such as black bars and crashes in games like Ascent, Total War: Three Kingdoms, and Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age. Additionally, it addresses a crash caused by multiple OBU packets hitting the GPU at once when using Blackmagic Design's AV1 decoder. Installing 595.59 is relatively straightforward, with an optional NVIDIA App available for tweaking overclock settings and keeping drivers up to date.

NVIDIA GeForce Game Ready Driver 595.59 – What’s New and How It Helps You Play Better

The latest NVIDIA driver, 595.59, ships for Windows 10 64‑bit and Windows 11, dropped today. It brings fresh DLSS 4 support to Resident Evil Requiem, a new Game Ready slot for Marathon with DLSS Super Resolution and Reflex, plus a handful of fixes that should stop those annoying black bars and crashes from ruining your session.

DLSS 4 in the Wild

Resident Evil Requiem is the first major title to get native DLSS 4. The new driver unlocks 10%‑plus frame‑rate bumps while keeping visual fidelity intact, so players who normally stuck at 60 fps on a mid‑range card can now push into the 70‑80 range without turning up the resolution. Marathon also gets the same boost via DLSS Super Resolution, and Reflex support means reduced input lag for those quick‑scoring moments.

After the last driver rollout many folks reported a black bar creeping across the top of Ascent on RTX 50‑series GPUs—an issue that’s been squashed in 595.59 (ticket 5859818). Total War: Three Kingdoms users saw green specks appear where nothing should be; those pixels are gone now (5745647). Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age used to crash with a fatal error right after an update, and that’s fixed too (5741199). Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2019 sometimes showed strange image corruption—no more of that mess (5733427). Even Quantum Break’s Act 4 performance dips have been smoothed out (5607678).

The driver also addressed a crash in Blackmagic Design’s AV1 decoder when multiple OBU packets hit the GPU at once (5671098), something that could otherwise bring streaming or video editing to a halt.

Installing 595.59 – Quick Guide and Why the Extras Are Worth It

Running the installer will automatically detect your graphics card and install the correct binaries for Windows 10 or 11. The optional NVIDIA App lets you tweak over‑clock settings, view GPU telemetry, and keep drivers up to date with a single click—no extra bulk or bloat if you skip it. If you’re on a system that already runs a clean driver version of 595.58, the update will be seamless; otherwise, a full uninstall followed by a fresh install is recommended.

If you’re still on an older driver or just want to see if your games get any better, download 595.59 today. It’s a solid step forward without adding extra software clutter—just straightforward performance improvements and a few well‑needed bug fixes. Happy gaming!
