NVIDIA has rolled out a fresh hotfix for its GeForce display driver, aiming to tackle some persistent display problems and a newly emerged GPU temperature glitch.
NVIDIA Takes Another Shot at Fixing Annoying Display Crashes with Latest Driver Hotfix
It’s quite rare to see a company release this many hotfixes for a single driver. NVIDIA seems to be facing a considerable challenge providing software support for its RTX 50 series GPUs. Frankly, I’ve lost track of how many fixes they’ve issued so far. But here we are again, with NVIDIA introducing a new hotfix—version 576.15—to take care of several issues. These include the display crashes that plagued the original v576.02 driver and a pesky temperature sensor glitch that affected GPU voltages and clock speeds.
Here’s a rundown of what the hotfix addresses:
- [RTX 50 series] Post-update to GRD 576.02, some games might show shadow flickering or corruption [5231537]
- GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards crash in Lumion 2024 when rendering [5232345]
- GPU monitoring tools failing to report temperatures after PC exits sleep mode [5231307]
- [RTX 50 series] Games crashing during shader compilation after the GRD 576.02 update [5230492]
- [GeForce RTX 50 series notebook] Resuming from Modern Standby may result in a black screen [5204385]
- [RTX 50 series] SteamVR exhibiting random V-SYNC stuttering with multiple displays [5152246]
- [RTX 50 series] Lower GPU clock speeds at idle following the GRD 576.02 update [5232414]
We’ve been aware of the display issues with NVIDIA’s RTX 50 drivers for some time. However, the newly discovered temperature sensor bug proved problematic too, especially after system sleep. Users reported incorrect GPU temperature readings after a temporary power pause. Thankfully, the latest hotfix should put an end to these headaches, ensuring the temperature sensor functions as it should.
If you’re dealing with these issues, you can download the GeForce Hotfix display driver version 576.15. Give it a try and see if it finally resolves those nagging display crashes or temperature sensor woes.
