NVIDIA has recently rolled out a hotfix for its GeForce display driver, aiming to address persistent display issues and a newly identified GPU temperature bug.

NVIDIA Releases Hotfix Driver 576.15 to Tackle Persistent Display Crashes and Temperature Bugs

This marks a notable instance where NVIDIA has issued multiple hotfixes for a single driver version, illustrating the challenges encountered while optimizing software support for the RTX 50 series graphics processing units (GPUs).As they work through these complications, NVIDIA has introduced version 576.15 of its driver, which seeks to rectify various issues arising from the earlier v576.02 release, including significant display crashes and a malfunctioning temperature sensor that has affected GPU voltages and clock speeds.

Key Fixes in the Latest Hotfix

The newly released hotfix specifically addresses the following issues:

Shadow flicker and corruption in some games following the update to version 576.02 [5231537]
Crashes in Lumion 2024 when using GeForce RTX 50 series cards in render mode [5232345]
Inaccurate GPU temperature readings reported by monitoring tools after waking the PC from sleep [5231307]
Certain games experiencing crashes during shader compilation after the update [5230492]
Black screen issue upon resuming from Modern Standby in RTX 50 series notebooks [5204385]
Random V-SYNC micro-stutters in SteamVR when multiple displays are connected [5152246]
Reduced idle GPU clock speeds following the 576.02 update [5232414]

While the display problems associated with NVIDIA’s RTX 50 drivers have been acknowledged for some time, the recently discovered temperature sensor bug was particularly concerning. Users reported that the GPU temperature readings became inaccurate after the system returned from sleep, indicating a potential flaw in the sensor’s functionality after a temporary power disruption. Fortunately, this issue has been resolved with the latest hotfix.
