NVIDIA has rolled out a fresh hotfix aimed at tackling those pesky display crashes and a newly discovered GPU temperature bug in their GeForce display drivers.
It looks like NVIDIA is on a mission to sort out the ongoing issues with their RTX 50 series GPUs. Honestly, it’s starting to feel like we’re seeing an unprecedented wave of hotfixes for a driver. The tally is getting hard to keep up with! But here we have it—Team Green has just unleashed the v576.15 driver hotfix. This update targets a number of issues, including pesky display crashes that initially cropped up with v576.02 and a glitchy temperature sensor that’s been wreaking havoc on GPU voltages and clock speeds.
Here’s what this hotfix sets out to mend:
– [RTX 50 series] Certain games might show shadow flickering or corruption after bumping up to GRD 576.02 [5231537]
– Lumion 2024 crashing on GeForce RTX 50 series when you switch to render mode [5232345]
– Post-sleep, GPU monitoring tools failing to report temperatures [5231307]
– [RTX 50 series] Some games crashing during shader compiling after the GRD 576.02 update [5230492]
– [GeForce RTX 50 series notebook] Coming out of Modern Standby leading to black screens [5204385]
– [RTX 50 series] SteamVR experiencing random V-SYNC micro-stutters when juggling multiple displays [5152246]
– [RTX 50 series] Reduced idle GPU clock speeds after shifting to GRD 576.02 [5232414]
For a while now, we’ve been hearing about the notorious display hiccups tied to NVIDIA’s RTX 50 drivers. However, it seems a new player joined the bug fraternity—the temperature sensor fiasco. This peculiar problem arises after a system wakes from a nap, messing up reported GPU temperatures. Apparently, the sensor takes a little holiday when the power momentarily blips off, leading to a fair amount of user frustration. Thankfully, this hotfix promises a resolution, sparing you that specific glitch.
For those eager to see if these issues are finally put to rest, you can snag the GeForce Hotfix display driver version 576.15 right here. Give it a whirl and see if those stubborn display crashes or temperature woes have been ironed out.
