Nvidia is releasing a new GPU driver today that includes a massive amount of fixes for bugs and crashes that have plagued its Game Ready drivers recently. After widespread reports of black screens, game crashes, and general stability issues, today’s 576.02 driver release (.exe download) not only bumps the version number significantly from last month’s 572.83, it also includes a number of significant fixes.
The release notes for Nvidia’s 576.02 driver mention that it fixes stability issues with Windows 11 version 24H2, a BSOD when playing DLSS 4 games with Multi Frame Generation, random black screen issues with the 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, a Star Wars Outlaws hang after the game is idle, a Monster Hunter Wilds crash, and stutter 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.
It’s an unusual amount of bug fixes for Nvidia’s usual driver updates, which regularly contain only a handful of fixed gaming or general bugs that fill half a page of Nvidia’s release notes. These latest bug fixes take up almost two pages this time around.
Hopefully this large list addresses most of the complaints we’ve seen ever since the RTX 5090 release in January. While Nvidia has struggled with RTX 50-series driver stability, the issues have also been impacting existing GPUs after the introduction of DLSS 4.
