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

Recently, NVIDIA rolled out a new hotfix aimed at tackling some persistent display issues and a pesky GPU temperature bug associated with their GeForce display driver.

Let’s dive into NVIDIA’s latest effort to address these bothersome display crashes. It’s quite unusual to see such a flurry of hotfixes for a single driver, indicating that NVIDIA faced some challenges in delivering robust software support for their RTX 50 series GPUs. Honestly, I’ve lost track of how many fixes have been released at this point, but it looks like NVIDIA has launched another one—hotfix v576.15. This latest update targets several problems, most notably the display crashes that appeared with the original v576.02 driver, along with a temperature sensor glitch that was causing discrepancies in GPU voltages and clock speeds.

Here’s what this hotfix aims to fix:

– On the RTX 50 series, some gamers may notice shadow flickering or corruption after moving to GRD 576.02 [5231537].
– Lumion 2024 has been crashing on GeForce RTX 50 series cards when users switch to render mode [5232345].
– GPU monitoring tools might stop showing GPU temperature details after the PC wakes up from sleep [5231307].
– Also, on the RTX 50 series, some games might crash during shader compilation after updating to GRD 576.02 [5230492].
– For GeForce RTX 50 series laptops, waking from Modern Standby could lead to a black screen [5204385].
– SteamVR might experience random V-SYNC micro-stutters when multiple displays are in use on the RTX 50 series [5152246].
– Additionally, there are reports of lower idle GPU clock speeds after updating to GRD 576.02 [5232414].

NVIDIA users have been aware for some time about the display hiccups experienced with the RTX 50 drivers. However, this new temperature sensor bug was something of a surprise. Apparently, these sensors weren’t reading temperatures accurately, particularly after waking from system sleep. This bug, which was causing headaches for several users, has been remedied in the latest hotfix, so that’s some good news.
