NVIDIA has released another "hotfix driver" to address issues with the RTX 50 GPUs, including the troublesome black-screen problem.
NVIDIA's Latest v572.75 Driver To Hopefully Eliminate Black Screen Crashing With RTX 50 GPUs
The RTX Blackwell lineup has been one of the most troublesome launches for NVIDIA, given that, despite being in the retail market for around a month, the GPUs have experienced all kinds of issues, ranging from low availability to performance degradation due to missing ROPs. It surely has been a rollercoaster ride; however, Team Green is trying to address all the problems, and now, with a new hotfix driver, the firm has solved two different issues with RTX 50 GPUs, one of which is apparently a new one.
GeForce Hotfix Display Driver version 572.75 is based on our latest Game Ready Driver 572.70.
- [GeForce RTX 5080/5090] Graphics cards may not run at full speeds on system reboot when overclocked [5088034]
- [GeForce RTX 50 series] GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs crashes with black screen [5120886]
The first issue is specific to the GeForce RTX 5080/RTX 5090, where the overclocked GPUs are said not to perform at full potential when a system reboot occurs. We haven't seen reports of users facing this problem, so it is likely something NVIDIA has identified internally, or there might be cases that haven't surfaced in the media. The second problem which is said to be addressed is the black screen issue, and it seems like NVIDIA's previous solutions haven't worked out.
A few days ago, we reported that despite the new driver released by NVIDIA, a user was still facing black screen problems, especially on Frame-Gen titles. Hence, this hotfix might have solved the issue, but it is uncertain for now. We recommend users update to the latest hotfix display driver, given that it may solve the black screen crashing for many users out there.
