Nvidia has issued a new hotfix driver (576.26) just a week after releasing driver 576.15, which was itself a hotfix. This latest version brings additional solutions for issues particularly affecting users with RTX 50-series GPUs. Despite these updates, reports indicate that some issues persist, prompting further feedback from users.

Overview of Changes

The latest driver aims to correct ten specific problems identified since the previous installation. These issues predominantly arise in various games including Black Myth: Wukong, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Horizon Forbidden West. However, users have also reported compatibility problems, particularly with LG monitors and GPU temperature tracking after waking from sleep mode.

Accessibility of Hotfixes

Currently, the Nvidia App only allows downloading the older version 576.02, as hotfix drivers are not automatic and must be sought separately by users who wish to install them.

User Feedback

Some users have expressed satisfaction with the new driver, noting improvements such as resolving connection issues with LG monitors through DisplayPort. Still, others claim that the issues with Horizon Forbidden West persist despite the updates.

In response to ongoing concerns, Nvidia has reassured users that future official driver releases will incorporate these fixes, and users are advised to consider waiting for a fully certified WHQL driver for an optimal experience.

Overall, while the updates signify Nvidia’s proactive approach, the diverse feedback indicates a complex landscape of driver performance and user experience.
