Nvidia has issued another hotfix driver to address bugs and crashes affecting its RTX 50-series GPUs. The 576.26 hotfix driver builds upon the 576.02 version released earlier this month, which included numerous bug fixes and stability improvements. This latest update also incorporates all the fixes from the 576.15 hotfix driver released last week, ensuring cumulative improvements. Key among the fixes is a resolution for a newly introduced GPU temperature issue. Additionally, the driver tackles specific problems in popular games such as Forza Horizon 5, where flickering was reported, and Forza Motorsport, which experienced track corruption. Black Myth: Wukong, known for its impressive graphics, is now less prone to random crashes when used with RTX 50-series GPUs. Other notable game fixes include improvements for Red Dead Redemption 2, Horizon Forbidden West, Dead Island 2, and Resident Evil 4 Remake, enhancing overall performance and stability. Nvidia has also addressed multiple display-related issues. Another attempt has been made to resolve black screen problems affecting LG monitors when using DisplayPort 2.1 mode. The update further corrects "grey screen crashes" and momentary display flicker occurring at high refresh rates with multiple monitors and RTX 50-series cards. This marks the fifth hotfix driver Nvidia has released in the past few months, an unusually frequent occurrence. The constant issuance of hotfixes highlights the ongoing challenges users have faced with RTX 50-series GPUs since their January launch. Last week, I reported that Nvidia's GPU drivers were in disarray, and the release of this new hotfix only underscores the company's struggle to maintain stability and reliability. Three years ago, Nvidia boasted about the quality of its drivers and criticized AMD for releasing beta drivers. In April 2022, Nvidia stated, “We don’t release sub-par beta drivers with minimal testing, let alone multiple conflicting beta drivers forked from different development branches that support different games and products, which confuse customers.” However, the current situation paints a different picture, indicating a significant shift in the company's approach and the complexity of the issues they are now grappling with. For GPU users and enthusiasts, these frequent updates are not only a nuisance but also a concern. The reliability and performance that Nvidia once promised have been marred by persistent bugs, causing frustration among the user base. It remains to be seen whether these continuous hotfixes will eventually lead to a more stable experience or if deeper issues persist beneath the surface. In the meantime, users are advised to install the latest driver to mitigate the known issues. Despite the current challenges, Nvidia continues to work diligently to improve the user experience, emphasizing the importance of feedback from the community in refining future updates.
