The latest Nvidia drivers reportedly fix stutters when using frame generation and VSync, so you can generate to your heart’s content
Nvidia’s latest Game Ready Driver version 596.49 reportedly addresses a longstanding performance issue affecting gamers who use DLSS frame generation technology alongside VSync. The update aims to eliminate stuttering that occurs when these two features are enabled simultaneously, allowing players to use frame generation without compromising smoothness.
The fix has garnered significant attention from the PC gaming community, particularly among players of Capcom titles, which appear to be among the biggest beneficiaries of the update. Community response on Nvidia’s subreddit has been positive, with users expressing optimism about the enhancement.
Frame generation, a feature in Nvidia’s DLSS suite, synthetically creates intermediate frames between rendered frames to improve perceived frame rates. However, when combined with VSync—which synchronizes the display refresh rate with frame output—the two technologies previously caused performance inconsistencies. This update resolves that incompatibility, enabling gamers to freely use both features together without encountering stuttering or visual artifacts.
