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

NVIDIA just rolled out a new hotfix for their GeForce display driver, aiming to tackle those pesky display problems and a fresh bug affecting GPU temperatures.

Sorting Out Display Crashing Issues: NVIDIA’s Latest Driver Hotfix

In a somewhat unusual scenario, NVIDIA has been releasing numerous hotfixes for its drivers lately, indicating some challenges in providing software support for the RTX 50 series GPUs. I’ve lost track of the number already, but NVIDIA has now introduced the v576.15 hotfix driver, targeting various issues. These include the display crashes tied to the prior v576.02 driver and a temperature sensor glitch that was messing with GPU voltages and clock speeds.

Here’s what this hotfix addresses:

• [RTX 50 series] Certain games may exhibit shadow flicker or corruption after the GRD 576.02 update [5231537].
• Lumion 2024 crashes when entering render mode on GeForce RTX 50 series cards [5232345].
• GPU monitoring tools may stop showing GPU temperature once your PC wakes from sleep [5231307].
• [RTX 50 series] Some titles might crash while compiling shaders after updating to GRD 576.02 [5230492].
• [GeForce RTX 50 series notebooks] Waking from Modern Standby could lead to a black screen [5204385].
• [RTX 50 series] Using multiple displays, SteamVR might show random V-SYNC micro-stutters [5152246].
• [RTX 50 series] Watching the GPU idle clock speeds dip lower than usual after the GRD 576.02 update [5232414].

We’ve known for some time about the display issues linked to NVIDIA’s RTX 50 drivers, but this new temperature sensor bug was particularly problematic. It caused incorrect GPU temperature readings, especially after the system went to sleep. This glitch meant that the temperature sensor wasn’t functioning correctly after a temporary power pause, creating a headache for many users. Luckily, the latest hotfix driver has addressed this, so users shouldn’t encounter this issue moving forward.

If you’re experiencing any of these problems, you can grab the GeForce Hotfix display driver version 576.15 to see if it clears up the display crashes and temperature sensor hiccups.
