Nvidia says RTX 5090 can hit up to 310 FPS at 4K in new Game Ready driver notes
- Nvidia said on July 7 its GeForce 610.74 Game Ready driver adds support for new releases and promoted RTX 5090 performance figures in driver messaging. - Nvidia’s marketing said the GeForce RTX 5090 can reach up to 310 frames per second at 4K in supported path-traced gameplay. - The GeForce 610.74 driver is available now through Nvidia’s Game Ready driver page, alongside release notes for supported titles.
Nvidia’s latest GeForce Game Ready driver notes are drawing attention less for bug fixes than for the performance figures the company attached to them. Version 610.74 WHQL, released this week, adds day-one support for *DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations* and *Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced*, according to Nvidia’s driver materials and third-party coverage. Nvidia-linked release messaging cited by Fudzilla said GeForce RTX 5090 owners can reach up to 310 frames per second at 4K with path tracing enabled in supported gameplay. Nvidia also said 1440p performance can rise to around 375 frames per second with DLSS Multi Frame Generation in supported titles. ### Where did the 310 FPS number come from? Fudzilla reported that Nvidia included the 310-FPS figure in its Game Ready driver messaging for the new 610.74 release. The report tied the claim to *DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations*, where Nvidia is promoting a stack of RTX features including DLSS Multi Frame Generation, Super Resolution, path tracing and DLSS Ray Reconstruction. (techpowerup.com) Version 610.74 itself is a real public driver release. TechPowerUp and VideoCardz both list the driver as a July release built around support for *DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations* and *Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced*, with package details including CUDA 13.3 and compatibility across GeForce RTX 50-series desktop and laptop GPUs. (msn.com) ### What exactly is Nvidia claiming at 1440p and 4K? Nvidia’s cited figures are not broad, across-the-board benchmark averages. Fudzilla said the company’s messaging described “up to” 310 FPS at 4K with path tracing enabled and roughly 375 FPS at 1440p using DLSS Multi Frame Generation in supported titles. The wording matters because it signals a best-case marketing scenario rather than a universal result across games or test setups. (techpowerup.com) DLSS Multi Frame Generation is one of the headline technologies Nvidia has attached to the GeForce RTX 50 series. Nvidia said in earlier official GeForce materials that DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation can multiply frame rates on RTX 50-series GPUs, but those gains depend on title support and the full DLSS feature stack being available.

PCBench’s current comparison page still places the GeForce RTX 5090 above the GeForce RTX 5080 in its aggregate results. The site says its comparison uses FPS data across 76 recent popular games and synthetic benchmarks, a figure close to the 77-game comparison cited in secondary coverage. (nvidia.com) That comparison does not validate Nvidia’s specific 310-FPS claim in one title. It does show that third-party benchmark aggregators continue to rank the RTX 5090 as the faster card overall than the RTX 5080 in current side-by-side listings. ### What is actually new in driver 610.74 besides the headline number? Nvidia’s 610.74 release centers on game support rather than a long list of fixes. (pcbench.net) TechPowerUp said the driver is optimized for *DOOM: The Dark Ages Revelations* DLC and *Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced*, while Neowin reported the release carries very few gaming bug fixes. The driver is already posted on Nvidia’s Game Ready driver page. Users looking to check the company’s latest supported titles and release notes can find the package there now.
