• Nvidia’s new GeForce Hotfix Show Driver 572.75 supposedly fixes overclocking concern for some
• Black display screen login points stay, as customers voice additional complaints
• It provides to the rising checklist of Group Inexperienced’s controversies amid the RTX 5000 sequence launch

Nvidia’s latest Sport Prepared Drivers have include a listing of points, which seem to have begun with the launch of its RTX 5000 sequence and appear to be affecting all method of RTX GPU homeowners. Nonetheless, whereas Group Inexperienced is working laborious to resolve driver hiccups, some customers are nonetheless pissed off.

As highlighted on Nvidia’s assist web page, a brand new GeForce Hotfix Show Driver 572.75 has been launched with patch notes addressing an overclocking concern, together with black display screen issues (notably on RTX 5000 sequence GPUs). This comes after the earlier Sport Prepared Driver 572.70 that added assist for the brand new RTX 5070 GPU and was supposed to unravel a black display screen booting concern that leaves customers caught at a clean login display screen when linked through DisplayPort on sure displays. Sadly, it seems as if the latter stays for some customers.

It is not precisely clear whether or not the difficulty stems from the drivers’ devoted assist for Group Inexperienced’s new Blackwell GPUs – one factor that’s clear although, is that the black display screen concern largely happens throughout system boot which renders PCs inoperable (past the BIOS) till repaired through Home windows restoration mode.

Having confronted black display screen points myself, I’ve switched again to driver 572.47, and it has been clean crusing with none evident issues to notice. As a result of experiences that this newest hotfix doesn’t seem to have utterly fastened the problems, it’s but one more reason why it might be greatest to keep away from updating drivers for now except mandatory.

Extra momentum for AMD…

It is no secret that the RTX 5000 sequence launch has been a little bit of a large number – from experiences of lacking ROPs, restricted availability, inflated costs (associate playing cards), and now driver points, it is left some followers of Group Inexperienced in a bitter temper.

AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 sequence has additionally simply launched, having fun with heaps of reward for its efficiency capabilities at reasonably priced costs – and whereas it is not an ideal launch since costs at some retailers are above MSRP, Group Pink has been off to a a lot better begin in comparison with its most important rival.

The tide seems to be turning drastically now, as AMD’s Radeon GPU drivers had been usually criticized for points up to now – which some used as a motive to keep away from Radeon GPUs – however that is now taking place with Nvidia’s Sport Prepared Drivers.

If this similar sample continues, I anticipate AMD GPUs to turn into far more fashionable amongst PC avid gamers – and as one who has been crying out for competitors in opposition to Nvidia’s market domination, it is pleasing to see – although I’d fairly AMD’s success didn’t come at the price of poor experiences for Nvidia GPU homeowners.
