The latest NVIDIA GPU pilots caused complex problems for GPUs in the GeForce RTX 40 series and even older, but Nvidia has not yet approached them.
Several reports emerge detailing how gpu driver 572.xx has spoiled the systems based on RTX 40
Since the launch of the RTX 50 series in January, Nvidia has almost left the GPUs of the RTX 40 series in the dark with regard to bug corrections. It is usual that companies focus on more recent products and While the RTX 50 series was not immune to problems like the BSODThe RTX 40 series was doing fairly well with the previous GPU pilots until Nvidia comes out of the RTX 50 compatible pilots which began to introduce complex problems with the RTX 40 GPUs.
The user of Reddit U / SOCTTY1992 explains his personal experiences with the new driver 572.xx but has listed several of these reports which overlap with certain common bugs. These include problems such as hard system accidents, black screens and even display problems, which were rare in the era before 572.xx.
PSA: NVIDIA Spread black screen or hard hard crash problems on the cards in the 4xxx (or older) series must be widely known and corrected.

It is not a coincidence that many of these users have succeeded with 566.xx pilots which were available before Nvidia published its driver 572.16 on January 30 to support the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080. Many new features have been introduced with the launch of the RTX 50 series, including DLSS 4, Multi-Frame Generation and DLSS. It is not that the activation of some of them always leads to above -mentioned problems, but it is a mixture of various factors that must be studied.
A user indicates that Cyberpunk 2077 On his RTX 4080, crashed when he started, and he was only repaired with the pilots before 572.xx. Another user of RTX 4090 said that he had encountered several problems such as black screens, gels and monitors that cannot be united at all. He also repaired him with the pilots 566.xx.
Apparently NVIDIA ignored these buck -up requests, which have been actively reported by users since the end of January. He only tried to repair the BSOD on the systems of the RTX 50 series and this was also set after several weeks. Many RTX 40 owners have been forced to return to the previous pilots, but this has also removed the advantages of the last drivers, including the DLSS 4 transformer model, updated Ray reconstruction and newly added games to the list of games supported by DLSS.
