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

NVIDIA recently rolled out a new hotfix aiming to remedy some nagging display issues and a pesky bug affecting GPU temperature readings. It’s been quite a saga, with Nvidia working hard to provide software support for its RTX 50 series GPUs. In fact, I’ve seen more hotfixes than I can count lately. The latest, version 576.15, targets several glitches, including problems introduced by the earlier 576.02 version, such as display crashes and issues with the temperature sensor that tampered with GPU voltage and clock speeds.

Here’s a rundown of the key fixes this update brings:

– Shadow flicker or corruption in some games after updating to the GRD 576.02 with the RTX 50 series [5231537].
– Crashes in Lumion 2024 while using GeForce RTX 50 series cards in render mode [5232345].
– GPU monitoring tools sometimes failed to show temperatures after waking from sleep [5231307].
– Shader compilation crashes in certain games with RTX 50 series after updating to GRD 576.02 [5230492].
– Black screens on GeForce RTX 50 series notebooks returning from Modern Standby [5204385].
– Random V-SYNC stutters in SteamVR when using multiple displays [5152246].
– Lower idle GPU clock speeds post-update with GRD 576.02 [5232414].

The temperature sensor glitch was particularly frustrating for users, as it caused incorrect readings once the system woke from sleep, affecting GPU operations. Luckily, NVIDIA has tackled this with their latest hotfix, providing some relief for affected users.

If you’ve been dealing with any of these issues, you might want to download the updated GeForce Hotfix display driver version 576.15. Give it a try to see if it smooths out your display crashes or temperature sensor woes.
