**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

Again no issues with the 581.89 vulkan drivers, every time I've updated to the latest AI drivers I end up back on these...

I did try the recommended 577.00 however but they gave me the first freeze up in BF6
 
If not playing resident evil requiem then 591.74 studio is a solid choice

If playing resident evil requiem then 581.42.

591.74 seem to be the best for me currently - but I have found with extended up time with intensive GPU use i.e. running multiple streams and encoders at once nvlddmkm will eventually fault causing a soft driver restart (it doesn't actually cause any issues as everything continues running with just a momentary hitch / black screen on any surfaces using hardware accelerated video without crashing anything out, etc.).

NVIDIA GeForce 595.76 Hotfix Driver

Although installation files are already available on official servers, NVIDIA has not yet published a list of changes. Note that after the release of the 595.71 WHQL driver, owners of RTX 50 video cards began to report about limiting GPU voltage and reducing boost frequencies. Tests on the RTX 5090 showed lower performance compared to previous driver versions.

Other possible issues that emerged after the installation of 595.71 are also mentioned in the discussions:

incorrect HDR operation;
failures when switching refresh rate;
black screens;
flights with TDR errors;
vulkan problems in individual games.
Fixes in NVIDIA GeForce Game Ready 595.76 Hotfix
This Hotfix update fixes the following issues:

Official information is expected

This hotfix addresses the following:
When the graphics card is overclocked, GPU voltage may become capped, preventing it from boosting to expected levels [5934973]
[Resident Evil Requiem] White glowing light/dots may appear in game when Subsurface Scattering is enabled [5915673]
Improved path tracing performance in Resident Evil Requiem [5938207]
[Star Citizen] Game client crashes when launched [5935027]
Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed when playing multi-key DRM content in a browser on HDCP 1.x monitors [5934450
 
Literally 1 day after the GRD... they could've just waited 24 hours and then released this as a GRD... there aren't enough face palms for this company.
They have the cheek to post this with their hotfix, we all know you let go, or took your software engineers to AI and "vibecode" your AI slop drivers..

"A GeForce driver is an incredibly complex piece of software, We have an army of software engineers constantly adding features and fixing bugs. These changes are checked into the main driver branches, which are eventually run through a massive QA process and released."
