NVIDIA releases GeForce Hotfix Display Driver for 'GPU temperature' bug and more

As reported, NVIDIA recently released GeForce Game Ready 576.02 WHQL for the new GeForce RTX 5060 Ti. The driver also introduced many fixes and improvements addressing issues like random black screens and crashing. However, since its release, gamers began to report a weird GPU temperature monitoring bug with GeForce Game Ready 576.02. Potential incorrect readings could lead to the wrong clock speeds and voltages being applied after a PC wakes from sleep.

The good news is that NVIDIA and the GeForce team have quickly addressed this issue, especially with GeForce Hotfix Display Driver 576.15. As a hotfix or beta driver release, this driver update has gone through an "abbreviated QA process," so it's flagged as optional. However, with the GPU temperature monitoring bug and a few other GeForce RTX 50 Series fixes, the latest GeForce Hotfix Display Driver is worth installing if you are affected.

GeForce Hotfix Display Driver 576.15 is available via the NVIDIA Customer Care support site. Here are the release notes.

• (RTX 50 series) - Some games may display shadow flicker/corruption after updating to GRD 576.02
• Lumion 2024 crashes on GeForce RTX 50 series graphics card when entering render mode
• GPU monitoring utilities may stop reporting the GPU temperature after PC wakes from sleep
• (RTX 50 series) Some games may crash while compiling shaders after updating to GRD 576.02
• (GeForce RTX 50 series notebook) Resume from Modern Standy can result in black screen
• (RTX 50 series) SteamVR may display random V-SYNC micro-stutters when using multiple displays
• (RTX 50 series) Lower idle GPU clock speeds after updating to GRD 576.02

Finally, as a Hotfix Display Driver, the changes and fixes you see here will be included in the next WHQL driver release.
