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

NVIDIA has rolled out another hotfix for its GeForce display drivers, aiming to tackle those pesky display crashes and a newly discovered GPU temperature bug.

NVIDIA’s Ongoing Efforts to Resolve Display Issues with Latest Driver Hotfix

In what feels like an unprecedented move, NVIDIA is releasing yet another hotfix in a bid to sort out issues with the drivers for its RTX 50 series graphics cards. It seems like they’ve had a bit of a hard time ensuring smooth software support for this lineup. Honestly, I’ve lost track of how many fixes they’ve issued by now, but the new hotfix driver v576.15 is here to address several problems. These include display crashes that originally came with the v576.02 driver update, alongside a quirky bug with the temperature sensor that messed up GPU voltages and clock speeds.

This hotfix tackles the following issues:

• [RTX 50 series] Some games might show shadow flicker or corruption after updating to GRD 576.02 [5231537].
• Lumion 2024 crashes on GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards when entering render mode [5232345].
• GPU monitoring tools might stop displaying the GPU temperature after the PC wakes from sleep [5231307].
• [RTX 50 series] Some games crash while compiling shaders after updating to GRD 576.02 [5230492].
• [GeForce RTX 50 series notebook] Resuming from Modern Standby could result in a black screen [5204385].
• [RTX 50 series] SteamVR may show random V-SYNC micro-stutters when using multiple displays [5152246].
• [RTX 50 series] Lower idle GPU clock speeds after the GRD 576.02 update [5232414].

We’ve been aware for some time about display issues with NVIDIA’s RTX 50 drivers. However, the new bug affecting the temperature sensor was particularly frustrating. Specifically, it led to incorrect GPU temperature readings, especially after a system wakes from sleep. For reasons unknown, the temperature sensor just didn’t kick back correctly after a temporary power pause, causing headaches for many users. Luckily, the latest hotfix driver seems to have ironed this out, sparing consumers from further hassles.

If you’re dealing with these issues, you can grab the GeForce Hotfix display driver version 576.15 and see if it finally smooths things over—whether it’s those annoying display crashes or the temperature sensor troubles.
