Overview

  • Nvidia's Hotfix Driver 576.15 addresses critical bugs introduced by the 576.02 driver, including frozen GPU temperature readings and display crashes.
  • The temperature monitoring bug, which affected RTX 30, 40, and 50-series GPUs, prevented proper fan control and posed overheating risks.
  • Additional fixes include resolving shader compilation crashes, shadow flickering in games, and black screens on Modern Standby for RTX 50-series laptops.
  • Despite these updates, users continue to report game crashes, G-Sync stuttering, and other performance issues on Nvidia forums.
  • Nvidia has not announced a timeline for integrating these fixes into a fully WHQL-certified driver, leaving RTX 50-series owners reliant on hotfixes.
