### Trying to Smooth Over Display Crashes with NVIDIA’s Latest Driver Hotfix

It’s becoming quite the saga with NVIDIA and their RTX 50 series GPUs, as it seems they’re getting tangled up with multiple hotfix releases. I’ve honestly lost track of how many have come out, but here we are with another one: the hotfix v576.15 driver. This update is NVIDIA’s latest effort to mend the display crashes caused by their original v576.02 driver, and it’s also addressing a temperature sensor bug that was messing with the GPU voltages and clock speeds.

Here’s what this hotfix sets out to fix:

– For the RTX 50 series, some games were experiencing shadow flicker or corruption after updating to GRD 576.02 [5231537].
– Lumion 2024 was crashing on GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards when switching to render mode [5232345].
– GPU monitoring tools would occasionally stop showing the GPU temperature after the PC woke up from sleep [5231307].
– Certain games on the RTX 50 series tended to crash when compiling shaders post-update to GRD 576.02 [5230492].
– GeForce RTX 50 series notebooks could end up with a black screen upon waking from Modern Standby [5204385].
– Users might have noticed random V-SYNC micro-stutters in SteamVR when using multiple displays on the RTX 50 series [5152246].

– Post-update to GRD 576.02, there were also lower idle GPU clock speeds in the RTX 50 series [5232414].

For those of us familiar with the ongoing display issues in NVIDIA’s RTX 50 drivers, the new twist with the temperature sensor was a surprise. After a system sleep, it turned out, the GPU temperature readings were going haywire. Apparently, the sensor would stop functioning correctly once the power was temporarily interrupted, which understandably caused a headache for users. Luckily, with the latest hotfix, this problem should be sorted out, at least for the time being.

You can grab the GeForce Hotfix display driver version 576.15 and give it a whirl to see if it finally resolves those nagging display crashes and temperature sensor problems.
