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

Just recently, NVIDIA rolled out a fresh hotfix aimed at tackling those frustrating display problems and a sneaky GPU temperature glitch found in their GeForce display driver.

### Another Push by NVIDIA to Cure the Annoying Display Crashes

Honestly, it’s a bit unusual to witness this many hotfixes for a single driver release. It seems NVIDIA hit some rocky patches while supporting their RTX 50 series GPUs. I’ve lost track at this point, but it appears Team Green has introduced a new hotfix driver, version 576.15. This update aims to remedy several annoyances, including those pesky display crashes tied to the original v576.02 driver and a temperature sensor hiccup that was causing chaos with GPU voltages and clock speeds.

Here’s what this hotfix is tackling:

– [RTX 50 series] Some games could experience shadow flickering or corruption after upgrading to GRD 576.02 [5231537]
– Lumion 2024 having hiccups and crashing whilst entering render mode with GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards [5232345]
– Occasional failure of GPU temperature readings in monitoring utilities after waking a PC from sleep [5231307]
– [RTX 50 series] Shader compilation crashes in some games post-update to GRD 576.02 [5230492]
– [GeForce RTX 50 series notebooks] Resuming from Modern Standby might serve up a black screen [5204385]
– [RTX 50 series] SteamVR occasionally showing unexpected V-SYNC micro-stutters, especially when juggling multiple displays [5152246]
– [RTX 50 series] Idle GPU clock speeds dropping post-GRD 576.02 update [5232414]

We’ve been aware of the display problems for some time with the RTX 50 driver family, but this temperature sensor issue was a fresh pain point. It involved inaccurate GPU temperature metrics, notably after a computer woke up from sleep. For whatever reason, the temperature sensor faltered after a temporary power pause, driving users up the wall. Thankfully, this latest hotfix comes to the rescue, so users shouldn’t bump into this snag now.

To give it a go yourself, you can download the GeForce Hotfix display driver version 576.15. See if it quells those display crashes or irons out the kinks with the temperature sensor issues.
