Today the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080. There is also a new »Game Ready« driver in version 572.16 on time for the release of the two new graphics cards, which can be obtained from the NVIDIA app or the official GeForce website .
In addition to the usual improvements and optimizations for new games, Nvidia also comes up with a little surprise: in thePatchnotizenthe manufacturer writes from the »Smooth Motion« feature.
- According to NVIDIA, this is a "new, driver-based AI model that ensures a more fluid gameplay". This should succeed by means of an additional frame that is derived between two rendered frames.
- Smooth motion is explicitly intended for games that have to do without DLSS frame generation. This means that the developers promise a higher frame rate even if the FG support is missing.
Nvidia also explains that Smooth motion can be applied to games if necessary, which run in native resolution or high -scaled resolutions. The perceived picture rate should be able to be doubled in this way.
It is currently still open whether the promise can be met and how it behaves here with the image quality.
It is clear for us: Tech editor Alex can/may/may/must/must be returned to the Blackwell generation after his tests for the Geforce RTX 5090 and GeForce RTX 5080 and will deliver the corresponding benchmarks and impressions as soon as possible.
New Nvidia feature is reminiscent of AMD FMF
The promises of Nvidia sound at least similar to an AMD feature that is already available in the second generation.
We are talking about AMDS »Fluid Motion Frames«, Which also represent an intermediate image calculation for games without the support of FSR.
blossomed to a popular feature when it comes to numerous community contributions. Examples of positive feedback can be found on various (AMD-related) subreddits:

Other parallels between Nvidia Smooth Motion and AMD Fluid Motion Frames are not just the similar name.
Both features are activated on the driver on the driver and have their application in all games under DirectX 11 or 12, which do not drive up support for the respective frame generation.
In contrast to AMDS Fluid Motion Frames, there is a restriction at Nvidia's version: Nvidia Smooth motion is probably reserved for the new RTX 50 graphics cards. At least these are explicitly mentioned; However, the updatics do not provide an indication of older GPUs or a reason.
If you have fulfilled this requirement and installed the new driver, you can activate Smooth motion in the graphics settings of the NVIDIA app:
- Select a compatible DirectX11 or DirectX12 game under »Graphics> Program Settings«.
- Scroll to the lower end of the list until you end up in the section "Driver settings". Here is the checkbox for activating the smooth motion feature.
