Nvidia has released another hotfix driver that primarily addresses bugs and crashes with its RTX 50-series GPUs. The 576.26 hotfix driver is based on the 576.02 driver release earlier this month, which itself included a large amount of fixes for bugs and crashes.
This latest hotfix driver includes all the fixes in the 576.15 hotfix that was released last week, including a fix for the newly introduced GPU temperature bug. It also addresses flickering issues in Forza Horizon 5, track corruption on Forza Motorsport, and Black Myth: Wukong randomly crashing on RTX 50-series cards. There are a variety of fixes for Red Dead Redemption 2, Horizon Forbidden West, Dead Island 2, and Resident Evil 4 Remake on RTX 50-series GPUs, too.
Nvidia has also included yet another supposed fix for black screen issues plaguing a range of LG monitors when using DisplayPort 2.1 mode. There’s also a fix for “grey screen crashes with multiple monitors” and “momentary display flicker occurs when running in DisplayPort2.1 mode with a high refresh rate” on RTX 50-series cards.
This is the fifth time Nvidia has released a hotfix driver over the past couple of months, which is a highly unusual amount and speaks to the persistent bugs and crashes that Nvidia GPU users have been reporting since the release of the RTX 50-series in January. I wrote last week that Nvidia’s GPU drivers are a mess, and just a week later we already have another hotfix that attempts to address the latest problems.
It’s a far cry from three years ago when Nvidia was proudly boasting of its driver quality, and mocking AMD for releasing beta drivers. “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,” said Nvidia in April 2022.
