NVIDIA has indicated that the fixes from these hotfix drivers will be included in the next official GeForce Game Ready driver update, which is expected to be released soon.

NVIDIA has launched the GeForce Hotfix Display Driver 576.26, aimed at resolving several issues affecting RTX 50 Series GPUs, including game crashes and display flickering.

This update also addresses specific problems in popular games such as Red Dead Redemption 2, Horizon Forbidden West, Dead Island 2, and Resident Evil 4 Remake.

Hotfixes are considered beta updates and lack WHQL certification, which means they may be unstable and are only suggested for users facing specific issues.

NVIDIA's recent driver challenges starkly contrast its previous reputation for high-quality releases, a point underscored by its past criticism of competitors for similar issues.

Community feedback indicates that while some users found relief with the hotfix, dissatisfaction remains prevalent, particularly on platforms like Reddit.

The hotfix addresses over 17 issues since the last stable driver, highlighting its importance for users experiencing significant problems.

Additionally, the hotfix targets DisplayPort issues impacting LG monitors, particularly black screens in DisplayPort 2.1 mode and grey screen crashes when using multiple displays.

While NVIDIA advises users experiencing particular problems to try the hotfix, it also recommends that others wait for the next WHQL-certified driver for improved stability.

Despite being a leader in AI hardware with a market valuation of $2 trillion, NVIDIA faces scrutiny over the frequency of driver bugs that hinder gaming performance.

The frequency of driver hotfixes has notably increased, averaging about one every two weeks, a significant change from previous generations where such updates were rare.

Despite the hotfix, many users continue to report unresolved issues, including problems with certain games, G-Sync, and the recurrence of previously fixed bugs.
