August 19, 2025Aug 19 Nvidia has released a new WHQL gaming driver for all users with supported GeForce and TITAN graphics cards. Driver 581.08 WHQL does not contain optimizations for new games. Instead, it delivers support for Global DLSS Override and Nvidia Smooth Motion on the RTX 40 Series graphics cards might help some simmers. Ali A.

August 19, 2025Aug 19 15 minutes ago, B777ER said: What exactly does that do? Smooth motion is frame gen for games that don’t support it. It addresses the same use case as Lossless Scaling. I used Lossless Scaling on Arma3 which is a decade+ old game that’s a single threaded nightmare without FG support. I would now try Smooth Motion for that game as I assume it’s better but would have to see. It’s not relevant to MSFS as it provides native support for Frame Gen. I assume DLSS override allows easier application of the latest DLSS DLLs across titles in your library which is nice. I’m guessing it does away with the need for DLSS swapper but I’m not sure about that. Edited August 19, 2025Aug 19 by Virtual-Chris

Smooth Motion generates less frames with slightly lower latency but better image quality." https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/1mu1pqm/nvidia_announces_the_official_release_of_smooth/ EDIT: I think that you have to turn on Smooth Motion in the Nvidia App, if you want to use it.

I did try it with DLSS FG on and gave me a very smooth flight, but my monitor was flickering some kind of pink overlay (very annoying), switched DLSS FG to FSR 3 and there was some kind of stutter/hesitation when turning view, turned off FG altogether and kept smooth motion only on, view was smoother (in my opinion) than FG on 4090, I have seen some other games like 2077 and WH (not using any of them), they used SM with FG and result was very good, it seemed like frames were tripled on RTX 40 series.

I though it was one or another depending on the game. Will investigate. Vincent B. Check my free MSFS sceneries : https://flightsim.to/profile/vbazillio/trending and my hardware configuration.

Nobody should be using this technology to play anything that requires quick inputs like simracing, combat flight sims or fps games. This technology isn't new. AMD have had it in their GPU drivers for over a year and are on their 3rd iteration of the technology.

Sometimes the external implementation is visually superior to the in game implementation. AMD has Fluid Motion frames which i use for both MSFS2020 and MSFS2024 because even though MSFS2024 has an AMD based implementation of frame gen .. the Driver based version has less visual artifacts. This may or may not be the case for the NVIDIA implementation as well. Gotta try it out and see which works best for you.

I agree to try all options (and Lossless Scaling as it's so cheap) to see which suits your setup best. Funnily enough, in my case I find the in-game FSR3 frame gen miles better than Fluid Motion Frames 2.1, but it's nice to have more choices to try depending on your GPU, monitor/TV etc.
