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

NVIDIA has just rolled out a fresh hotfix for its GeForce display driver, aiming to tackle some pesky issues that have been plaguing users—namely, display problems and a new quirk involving GPU temperatures.

In yet another attempt to iron out these persistent display glitches, NVIDIA’s latest hotfix driver—version 576.15—promises to make strides in software support for the RTX 50 series GPUs. It’s rare to see so many successive hotfixes, which suggests some underlying challenges for NVIDIA. I’ve honestly lost track of how many there have been, but this recent update is specifically geared towards solving the infamous display crashes introduced with driver version 576.02. Plus, it addresses a bug related to GPU temperature sensors that could mess with voltages and clock speeds.

The hotfix tackles several key issues:

– [RTX 50 series] Shadow flickering or corruption in some games after updating to driver 576.02 [5231537]
– Lumion 2024 crashing during render mode on RTX 50 series cards [5232345]
– GPU temperatures not being reported after waking from sleep [5231307]
– [RTX 50 series] Games crashing during shader compilation after updating to driver 576.02 [5230492]
– [GeForce RTX 50 series notebooks] Black screen on resuming from Modern Standby [5204385]
– [RTX 50 series] SteamVR experiencing random V-SYNC micro-stutters when using multiple displays [5152246]
– [RTX 50 series] Reduced idle GPU clock speeds following the update to version 576.02 [5232414]

While we were already aware of the display issues tied to NVIDIA’s RTX 50 drivers, the temperature sensor glitch is a bit of a newer problem. It seems that after a system wakes from sleep, the sensor misreports GPU temperatures, a situation that was frustrating for many users. Thankfully, the recent hotfix has taken care of this anomaly, providing relief for those affected.

You can snag the GeForce Hotfix display driver version 576.15 from NVIDIA’s site and try it out to see if it resolves those stubborn display and temperature hurdles.
