RTX 50 series benefits from hotfix
NVIDIA's RTX 50 series is reportedly getting improved stability and higher frame rates from the new 595.76 hotfix [https://www.igorslab.de/en/the-rtx-50-series-appears-to-benefit-from-the-new-nvidia-hotfix-595-76/]. Worth checking out if you've upgraded or plan to.
NVIDIA's GeForce Hotfix 595.76 addresses issues with the RTX 50 series, specifically voltage capping that limited overclocking potential. Users reported reduced boost clocks and performance after updating to driver 595.71. The 595.76 hotfix is based on the 595.71 Game Ready Driver but undergoes a shorter QA cycle. NVIDIA recommends that users unaffected by the voltage cap issue remain on the standard Game Ready branch. Beyond the voltage fix, the hotfix resolves graphical glitches in *Resident Evil Requiem* and launch crashes in *Star Citizen*. It also corrects intermittent application crashes when playing multi-key DRM content in browsers on HDCP 1.x monitors. The RTX 50 series, based on the Blackwell architecture, launched in January 2025, succeeding the RTX 40 series. The RTX 5090 features 32GB of GDDR7 memory and 21,760 CUDA cores.
