NVIDIA Releases GeForce Hotfix Driver 576.15 to Resolve Display Crashes and GPU Temperature Sensor Problems

NVIDIA has stepped up its game with a new hotfix aimed at resolving persistent issues that have been bugging their GeForce display driver users. The company is tackling both display crashes and a pesky new bug affecting GPU temperatures.

Rarely do we see such a flurry of hotfixes for a driver, but this time around, NVIDIA encountered some hiccups while supporting the RTX 50 series GPUs. I’ve honestly lost track of just how many fixes have been rolled out, but here comes yet another: version 576.15. This update aims to remedy a range of problems sparked by the initial v576.02 driver, particularly those annoying display crashes and a glitch in the temperature sensor that was skewing GPU voltages and clock speeds.

Here’s what’s being addressed:

– Some titles may experience shadow flickering or visual glitches after upgrading to GRD 576.02 on RTX 50 series [5231537].
– The Lumion 2024 software crashes on RTX 50 cards when switching to render mode [5232345].
– After a computer wakes from sleep, GPU monitoring tools might stop showing temperature data [5231307].
– Shader compilation crashes in some games on RTX 50 series with the GRD 576.02 update [5230492].
– Resuming from Modern Standby on RTX 50 series laptops might lead to a black screen [5204385].
– SteamVR users might notice random V-SYNC micro-stutters with multiple displays on RTX 50 series [5152246].
– The update also reduces idle GPU clock speeds, fixing another issue from GRD 576.02 [5232414].

We’ve been aware of NVIDIA’s driver display issues for some time now, but the newly emerged temperature sensor bug added another layer of complexity. This glitch affected temperature readings after a system woke up from sleep, causing confusion about the GPU’s actual status. Thankfully, the current hotfix addresses this problem, ensuring users can now get accurate temperature data without worry.

To see if the latest hotfix resolves these nagging issues for you, download the GeForce Hotfix display driver version 576.15 and give it a spin. Hopefully, it will smooth over the display crashes and set any temperature discrepancies straight.
