- Nvidia’s new Recreation Prepared Driver 576.02 has a mountain of bug fixes
- It cures many issues with video games crashing, and black display lock-ups with RTX 5000 fashions
- Whereas past-gen Nvidia GPUs aren’t talked about within the launch notes, it seems they acquired some love right here too
Nvidia has launched a brand new graphics driver that brings in assist for its freshly launched RTX 5060 Ti GPU, however I believe what most players will probably be extra desirous about is absolutely the mountain of bug fixes delivered right here.
That features the options for varied video games being crash-happy, in addition to crucial repair of all for individuals who’ve purchased certainly one of Nvidia’s Blackwell graphics playing cards.
Sure, Recreation Prepared Driver 576.02 (the discharge of which VideoCardz flagged) resolves the random black display crashes which were irritating these with an RTX 5000 GPU, or Nvidia claims it does anyway.
On prime of that, Nvidia lists a few different separate bug fixes for points with RTX 5000 graphics playing cards getting black display lock-ups “when taking part in graphically demanding video games” in addition to hitting black screens upon putting in drivers and booting into Home windows. (How about RTX 4000, or earlier RTX GPUs, black-screening, you is perhaps considering – effectively, I’ll come again to that).
On prime of that very important work, a complete lot of common bug fixes are put in place right here, corresponding to “stability points” with Home windows 11 24H2 and stability quirks elsewhere, web page fault error crashes when utilizing DLSS 4 MFG (Multi-Body Era), PCs failing to wake after spending a protracted interval asleep, DisplayPort-related issues, and way more in addition to.
Concerning the fixes for bugs which have hit particular video games, we’ve acquired a variety of work on that entrance too. Try the next record of solves:
- [Fortnite] random crashes throughout gameplay
- [The First Berserker: Khazan] DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED Crash
- [Star Wars Outlaws] Software will freeze after leaving the sport idle for five+ minutes
- Recreation stability points when taking part in video games with DLSS Body Era + GSYNC
- [Monster Hunter Wilds] Crash after accepting quest with DLSS-FG Enabled

- Stutter when utilizing VSYNC
- VSYNC in NVCP + body era causes points in DLSS 4 video games
- [Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection] Artifacts on display when accumulating treasures

Evaluation: The significance of getting it proper from the off – and what about RTX 4000 GPUs?
There’s a variety of good work right here, then, and a few vital cures for RTX 5000 GPUs. Nonetheless, the sheer quantity of the remediation work contained inside this launch doesn’t replicate effectively on Nvidia, as a result of, in a great world, it shouldn’t have been crucial to use these fixes in a ‘dwell’ trend, because it had been. These bugs, and notably the showstopping black display crashes which were current because the first Blackwell GPUs emerged, ought to’ve been ironed out earlier than these graphics playing cards appeared on cabinets.
This isn’t nearly Blackwell, although. These black display crashes that players have been struggling have additionally affected a few of these with past-gen Nvidia GPUs (RTX 4000, and even RTX 3000 fashions going by some reviews, however it’s extra the previous). There’s no point out of any fixes for black-screening with these graphics playing cards in Nvidia’s launch notes right here.
Nonetheless, the optimistic information is that taking a sampling of reviews on Reddit – caveat: hardly a scientific technique, however an inexpensive barometer of how issues are going – evidently a good variety of of us are saying their RTX 4000 black display blues have been resolved. Now, not everyone seems to be claiming that – some are nonetheless reporting points (as you may see within the thread beneath) – however general, the wind seems to be blowing in a extra favorable path with this newest driver.
Remark from r/nvidia
Total, then, it appears it is a stable step ahead for Nvidia when it comes to rectifying the various glitches which have manifested in its graphics drivers since Blackwell GPUs first emerged, which must be a very good factor.
However as famous, these bugs ought to by no means have been witnessed in such portions to start with, and it’s form of bewildering as to how this occurred – solely serving to bolster the circumstances of those that theorized that Blackwell was a rushed launch.
