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

NVIDIA’s latest update comes with a fresh hotfix for their GeForce display driver, aiming to tackle some persistent display crashes and a pesky new bug affecting GPU temperatures.

It’s not often we see this many hotfixes popping up for a single driver, but here we are. NVIDIA seems to be having a bit of a rough patch with providing smooth software support for their RTX 50 series GPUs. I’ve honestly lost track of how many updates have been released, but here’s the latest: an updated version, v576.15, designed to tackle the troubles that came with the initial v576.02 release. This includes fixing the notorious display crashes and a bug that was messing with the voltage and clock speeds due to incorrect temperature readings.

Here’s what the hotfix is addressing:

– [RTX 50 series] Shadow flicker and corruption issues in certain games after updating to GRD 576.02 [5231537]
– Lumion 2024 crashing with RTX 50 series cards when entering render mode [5232345]
– GPU monitoring tools failing to report temperatures after waking from sleep mode [5231307]
– Shader compilation crashes in some games post-update to GRD 576.02 [5230492]
– Black screen occurrences when resuming from Modern Standby on RTX 50 series notebooks [5204385]
– Random V-SYNC micro-stutters in SteamVR with multiple displays on RTX 50 series [5152246]
– Reduced idle GPU clock speeds after updating to GRD 576.02 [5232414]

While we’ve been aware of the display issues with the RTX 50 drivers for some time, this new temperature sensor bug was a bit of an unexpected twist. The problem was rooted in incorrect temperature readings after a system woke from sleep, causing multiple users headaches. Fortunately, this hotfix should put those worries to rest.

If you’re dealing with any of these issues, you can download the GeForce Hotfix display driver version 576.15 right here and see if it resolves your display or temperature problems.
