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

NVIDIA has rolled out a fresh hotfix for its GeForce display driver, aiming to tackle those pesky display crashes and a newly surfaced GPU temperature issue.

### NVIDIA’s Latest Driver Hotfix Tackles Annoying Display Issues

It seems like NVIDIA’s plate is quite full with hotfix releases lately, especially considering the challenges they’ve faced in providing software support for their RTX 50 series GPUs. Honestly, I’ve lost track of the number, but it looks like Team Green has just issued another hotfix—version 576.15—addressing quite a few concerns. These include the display crashes linked to the original v576.02 driver, as well as a temperature sensor glitch that interfered with GPU voltages and clock speeds.

Here’s what this hotfix covers:

– [RTX 50 series] Some games might exhibit shadow flicker or corruption after updating to GRD 576.02. [5231537]
– In Lumion 2024, users reported crashes when using a GeForce RTX 50 series card to enter render mode. [5232345]
– After waking from sleep, GPU monitoring tools could stop reporting temperature details. [5231307]
– [RTX 50 series] Certain games could crash during shader compilation post-GRD 576.02 update. [5230492]
– [GeForce RTX 50 series notebook] Returning from Modern Standy could lead to a black screen. [5204385]
– [RTX 50 series] When multiple displays are in use, SteamVR might show random V-SYNC micro-stutters. [5152246]
– The GPU’s idle clock speeds might drop after the GRD 576.02 update. [5232414]

While we’ve been aware of the display issues with NVIDIA’s RTX 50 drivers for a bit now, the temperature sensor problem is somewhat newer. After a system wakes from sleep, the GPU temperature readings were off, which turned out to be quite a headache for users. Fortunately, the latest hotfix driver seems to have sorted this out, sparing consumers from further troubles in this regard.

If you’re dealing with any of these issues, you can grab the GeForce Hotfix display driver version 576.15. Give it a go and see if it handles the display crashes or temperature sensor troubles for you.
