Nvidia's RTX 5000 series graphics card family is getting a new member today, and it is aimed towards more budget-oriented gamers. Matching the new hardware release, Nvidia has brought in the WHQL-certified 576.88 Game Ready driver to add support for the new GPU as well as a new game release.
The recently announced RTX 5050 was first said to be landing in the mid-to-late July timeframe, but it looks like the launch is happening today, July 1.

According to Nvidia, it has also resolved the following four bugs with this update, which include an important one for AMD Ryzen-powered machines with Nvidia graphics as well:
• When enabling NVIDIA Smooth Motion in games, GPU video memory runs at slightly lower speed
• Cyberpunk 2077: Some notebooks will freeze when NVIDIA App Overlay is used when DLSS Frame Generation is enabled
• Black screen when installing drivers on some AMD Ryzen configurations
• Black screen when switching between 480Hz and 360Hz on Sony SDM-27Q10S monitor
Currently open issues that Nvidia driver teams are working on are these:
• Cyberpunk 2077 will crash when using Photo Mode to take a screenshot with path tracing enabled
• Battlefield 2042: random square artifacts may appear around lights during gameplay
• World of Warcraft: displays artifacts when ray tracing is enabled
• Counter-Strike 2: Text may appear slightly distorted when in-game resolution is lower than the native resolution of the display
The Nvidia 576.88 driver is now available for download in the Nvidia app and GeForce Experience. Standalone download links
can be found here, and here are the
official release notes (PDF). Don't forget that driver support for Nvidia graphics cards from Volta, Pascal, and Maxwell architectures
is going away soon as well.
