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

NVIDIA has rolled out a fresh hotfix for its GeForce display driver, aiming to tackle those pesky display issues along with a new glitch affecting GPU temperatures.

Efforts to Resolve Persistent Display Crashes with NVIDIA’s Latest Driver Hotfix

It’s not too often we see a flurry of hotfixes being released for a single driver, but it appears NVIDIA is hitting a few bumps in the road providing robust software support for its RTX 50 series GPUs. Honestly, I’ve lost track by now, but NVIDIA has released another hotfix—version 576.15—to address several nagging problems. This includes display crashes linked to the original v576.02 driver and a temperature sensor snafu that was tampering with GPU voltages and clock speeds.

Here’s what this hotfix aims to resolve:

– [RTX 50 series] Some games may experience shadow flickering or corruption after updating to GRD 576.02 [5231537]
– Lumion 2024 crashes on GeForce RTX 50 series graphics card when entering render mode [5232345]
– GPU monitoring tools may stop showing GPU temperatures after the PC wakes from sleep [5231307]
– [RTX 50 series] Some games could crash while compiling shaders after updating to GRD 576.02 [5230492]
– [GeForce RTX 50 series notebook] Waking from Modern Standby might result in a black screen [5204385]
– [RTX 50 series] SteamVR might show random V-SYNC micro-stutters with multiple displays [5152246]
– [RTX 50 series] Lower idle GPU clock speeds following the GRD 576.02 update [5232414]

While we’ve been aware of the display hiccups with NVIDIA’s RTX 50 drivers for some time now, the newfound temperature sensor issue was a bit of a surprise. It turned out that GPU temperature readings were inaccurate after the computer returned from sleep mode. Seems like the temperature sensor wasn’t quite doing its job post-sleep, causing headaches for users. Fortunately, the newest hotfix driver has sorted this out, saving consumers from this nuisance for the time being.

If you’re dealing with display crashes or funky temperature readings, you might want to give the GeForce Hotfix display driver version 576.15 a go—it’s available for download now.
