Nvidia's latest GPU drivers fix lots of bugs and crashes

Nvidia is releasing a new GPU driver today that includes a lot of fixes for bugs and crashes that have been plaguing its Game Ready drivers lately. Following widespread reports of black screens, game crashes, and general stability issues, today's 576.02 driver release (.exe download) not only significantly bumps up the version number from last month's 572.83, but also includes a number of important fixes.

The release notes for Nvidia's 576.02 driver mention that it fixes stability issues with Windows 11 version 24H2, BSODs when playing DLSS 4 games with Multi Frame Generation, random black screen issues with RTX 50-series GPUs, and general system stability issues. Nvidia has also addressed "game stability issues when playing games with DLSS Frame Generation + GSYNC."

This driver release also fixes random crashes in Fortnite, Star Wars Outlaws hanging after the game is idle, Monster Hunter Wilds crashing and stuttering when using VSYNC in Overwatch 2. There are also a variety of fixes for Hellblade 2, Control, The Last of Us Part 1 and Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection.

This is an unusual amount of bug fixes for Nvidia's normal driver updates, which regularly have just a handful of gaming or general bugs that fill up half a page of Nvidia's release notes. These latest bug fixes take up almost two pages this time around.

Hopefully this big list addresses most of the complaints we've seen since the RTX 5090 release in January. While Nvidia has had to struggle with RTX 50-series driver stability, these issues have also been affecting existing GPUs since the introduction of DLSS 4.

Nvidia's 576.02 driver also supports the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti GPU that's launching today, with pricing starting at $379.
