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

NVIDIA recently rolled out a new hotfix for its GeForce display drivers, aiming to tackle some persistent display issues and a pesky GPU temperature bug.

In what seems like an unprecedented series of updates, NVIDIA has been releasing numerous hotfixes for the RTX 50 series GPUs. Frankly, it feels almost overwhelming trying to keep track, but the latest release, hotfix v576.15, promises to address multiple issues. These include the notorious display crashes that emerged with the initial v576.02 driver, and a temperature sensor problem that was throwing GPU voltages and clock speeds into disarray.

Here’s what the hotfix aims to fix:

– For the RTX 50 series, some games showed shadow flickering or corruption after the GRD 576.02 update [5231537].
– Lumion 2024 would crash on GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards during render mode [5232345].
– GPU monitoring utilities were failing to report GPU temperature after the system woke from sleep [5231307].
– Some games crashed during shader compilation following the 576.02 update on RTX 50 series [5230492].
– GeForce RTX 50 series notebooks could experience a black screen when resuming from Modern Standby [5204385].
– SteamVR might exhibit random V-SYNC micro-stutters when multiple displays are used with the RTX 50 series [5152246].
– The RTX 50 series exhibited lower idle GPU clock speeds after the 576.02 update [5232414].

While the display issues with NVIDIA’s RTX 50 drivers have been known for some time, the temperature sensor bug was a relatively new challenge. After a device went to sleep, the sensor reportedly gave incorrect temperature readings, causing headaches for many users. Thankfully, with this hotfix driver, NVIDIA aims to put these problems to rest, at least for now.

If you’re eager to resolve these issues, you can download the GeForce Hotfix display driver v576.15 and see if it does the trick in fixing your display crashes or temperature sensor anomalies.
