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

NVIDIA has rolled out yet another hotfix addressing some nagging issues with their GeForce display driver, specifically targeting those pesky display problems and a newfound bug linked to GPU temperatures.

This latest hotfix from NVIDIA aims to once again tackle the ongoing display crashing issues. In what seems like an unprecedented series of patches, NVIDIA is working hard to iron out software kinks for its RTX 50 series GPUs. Honestly, I’m starting to lose track of them all, but here we are with a fresh hotfix, version 576.15. This update addresses a series of issues, including the display crashes that emerged with the original v576.02 driver, along with a temperature sensor glitch that was tinkering with GPU voltages and clock speeds.

Here’s what this hotfix addresses:

– For the RTX 50 series, some games could show shadow flickers or corruption after updating to GRD 576.02 [Issue ID: 5231537].
– Lumion 2024 might crash on GeForce RTX 50 graphics cards when switching to render mode [Issue ID: 5232345].
– After a PC wakes from sleep, GPU monitoring tools may stop reporting the temperature [Issue ID: 5231307].
– Some games might crash during shader compilation on the RTX 50 series post GRD 576.02 update [Issue ID: 5230492].
– For GeForce RTX 50 series notebooks, resuming from Modern Standby could lead to a black screen [Issue ID: 5204385].
– SteamVR on RTX 50 series might exhibit random V-SYNC micro-stutters when multiple displays are in use [Issue ID: 5152246].
– Lower idle GPU clock speeds were seen after updating to GRD 576.02 on the RTX 50 series [Issue ID: 5232414].

We’ve known for some time about the display hiccups with NVIDIA’s RTX 50 drivers, but this quirky temperature sensor issue was fresh on the scene. Apparently, the GPU temperature readings would go haywire, especially after the system woke up from sleep. While it may sound odd, this glitch proved to be a genuine headache for many users. Thankfully, this newest hotfix driver seems to have nipped that problem in the bud, sparing us further trouble—at least for now.

You can grab the GeForce Hotfix display driver version 576.15 and see if it clears up those display crashes or temperature sensor mishaps. Happy gaming!
