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

NVIDIA has just rolled out another hotfix for its GeForce display driver, aiming to tackle those pesky display issues and a new bug affecting GPU temperature readings.

Let’s talk about NVIDIA’s latest driver hotfix, which is another attempt to iron out the infamous display crashes. It’s rare to see such a flurry of hotfixes for a driver, but NVIDIA seems to be having some challenges in providing solid software support for its new RTX 50 series GPUs. To be honest, I’ve lost track of the exact number, but it looks like NVIDIA has released yet another patch—hotfix version 576.15. This update specifically targets multiple issues, including those notorious display crashes from the initial v576.02 driver, as well as a temperature sensor problem that was affecting GPU voltages and clock speeds.

Here’s what this hotfix addresses:

– [RTX 50 series] An issue where certain games exhibited shadow flickering or corruption post-update to GRD 576.02. [5231537]
– Crashes in Lumion 2024 on GeForce RTX 50 series cards when switching to render mode. [5232345]
– Certain GPU monitoring tools failing to show temperature stats after waking up a PC from sleep mode. [5231307]
– [RTX 50 series] Crashes while compiling shaders in some games after the GRD 576.02 update. [5230492]
– [GeForce RTX 50 series laptops] Black screens upon resuming from Modern Standby. [5204385]
– [RTX 50 series] Random V-SYNC micro-stutters in SteamVR when using multiple screens. [5152246]
– Lower idle GPU clock speeds post-update to GRD 576.02. [5232414]

We’ve been aware of the ongoing display issues with NVIDIA’s RTX 50 drivers, but the temperature sensor bug is a bit of a newer headache. It involved incorrect temperature readings from the GPU, particularly after the system woke up from sleep mode. For whatever reason, the temperature sensor decided to act up after a brief power nap, causing some frustration among users. The good news? This latest hotfix should take care of it, meaning you shouldn’t hit these problems anymore.

If you’re eager to see if the hotfix does the trick, you can download GeForce Hotfix display driver version 576.15. Give it a try and see if it smooths out those display crashes and sorts out the sensor issues.
