The launch of the GPUs of the NVIDIA RTX 50 series was marred by several problems, including shortages,, Overheating power connectorsAnd Driver’s instability. Although the first two problems are more difficult to sort, the last should be repairable via downloadable software updates. In fact, the company has already published several Hotfix versions, with the last – version 572.65 – being Released on March 2. However, it seems that certain (very similar) problems remain, so we have just received another hot Team Green update. THE GeForce Hotfix Driver version 572.75 Takes two specific problems: the first is certain RTX 5090 GPUs and 5080 overclockés refuse to execute at a maximum frequency after restarting the system, while the second fixes on the black screen.
Nvidia generally publishes updates to the pilot monthly; These hotfixs are published from the calendar for problems that require priority solutions, such as an unstable pilot that causes BSODs and black screens in the wider community of RTX users. Note that these hotfixs are generally not automatically installed, so you will have to find them, download them and install them yourself. The company says: “Admittedly, these hotties are beta, optional and supplied as is. They are managed by a very short QA process. The only reason they exist is to resolve you more quickly. However, they will always be included with the next drop of drivers ready to play in the Nvidia application. Even if you do not know that there is a problem with your RTX GPU (or is not affected), you will always get the fix in the coming weeks.
The hardware pilots are intrinsically complicated by software, especially since Nvidia must consider the large number of configurations that her equipment will meet on the ground. Apart from that, it must also work perfectly with thousands of applications and game titles, which means that it is almost impossible to test all possible permutations of hardware and software before publishing a pilot. The company says: “A driver from GeForce is incredibly complex software. We have an army of software engineers by constantly adding features and correcting bugs. »»
If you are having a problem with your newly purchased RTX 50 serial GPU, maybe download a hotfix would be enough to resolve it. But as the Hotfixs are essentially beta versions of what comes out in the regular update of the pilot, you could meet another bug here and there. If this happens, you should report it to NVIDIA customer service – in this way, it would have a chance to repair what you are going through before the Hotfix obtains a wider outing in the context of the pilots ready by the NVIDIA game.
