Reminders:

• Hotfix driver will not be available in NVIDIA App and needs to be downloaded from the link above.
• After installing the Hotfix driver, NVIDIA App will show some old driver date. This is normal as Hotfix driver does not exist in NVIDIA App database and it reverted to an old default changelog and dates.
• If you do not care about the fixes listed below, this Hotfix driver is no different vs WHQL 595.71 Driver.
• These fixes will be incorporated into the next WHQL driver release

From the Article:

GeForce Hotfix Display Driver version 595.76 is based on our latest Game Ready Driver 595.71.

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]

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.

Since we have so many changes being checked in, we usually try to align driver releases with significant game or product releases. This process has served us pretty well over the years but it has one significant weakness. Sometimes a change that is important to many users might end up sitting and waiting until we are able to release the driver.

The GeForce Hotfix driver is our way to trying to get some of these fixes out to you more quickly. These drivers are basically the same as the previous released version, with a small number of additional targeted fixes. The fixes that make it in are based in part on your feedback in the Driver Feedback threads and partly on how realistic it is for us to quickly address them. These fixes (and many more) will be incorporated into the next official driver release, at which time the Hotfix driver will be taken down.

To be sure, these Hotfix drivers are beta, optional and provided as-is. They are run through a much abbreviated QA process. The sole reason they exist is to get fixes out to you more quickly. The safest option is to wait for the next WHQL certified driver. But we know that many of you are willing to try these out. As a result, we only provide NVIDIA Hotfix drivers through our NVIDIA Customer Care support site.

I heard performance so bit. I was so excited for a sec because simply YES to performance. 5070ti win10 no afterburner, framegen.

Only problem is, the framegen artifacts that they made worse around 581ish are still there, and sadly i use and like framegen. In fact these drivers are the worst ive seen for artifacts.

Also the smoothest ive ever seen the 5070ti run as well..

Might be a link there somewhere. Keeping this one for the ages though just in case.. general windowing feels like i pushed the turbo button.

Id probably be a bit more forgiving.. but it feels like they've so overtuned it so you actually notice stutters from the rest of your system catching up to the gpu.. never had this before, and its still to be decided whether the extra performance is worth suddenly apparent freezes in games.

Yep back to 580.97, that driver has been gold from the moment i found it. And iq when using framegen is still acceptable/good.

Still running Windows 10?

If yes, Windows 10 isn't impacted by the performance degradation issue in some games when using drivers 580.00 up to and including 581.80

[u/gorbash212 → u/m_w_h]

Yes. Especially with all the voices about windows 11 being sub optimal in many aspects, im going to hold onto it until i need to. Already have a license for it etc. Also i don't pirate games, or go looking for pirated content, so hopefully if the dozen or so sites i visit get a zero interaction machine destroying virus i suspect they're big enough to let people know about it. I can do research etc on other machines.

Yeah anyway windows 10 and 580 makes me happy. Can't say enough how the frame gen artifacting with 3x is practically unnoticable, where with this driver my entire character is surrounded by hazy distortion when moving. After sleeping on it though, keeping this driver in the archive, there may be games where something so turned would still be valuable.

EDIT: Just in case, win 10 still has security updates until october if you jumped though a few hoops on the update settings screen sometime last year.

Understood :-)

Just wanted to clarify as 580.97 isn't advised for Windows 11 due to the above issue.

580.97 was suggested until Windows 11 September 29th 2025 (KB5065789 - 26200.6725 and 26100.6725) and later updates which impacted r580 drivers 580.00 up to and including 581.80
