NVIDIA Pulls Faulty GPU Driver Update Causing Issues

NVIDIA pulled its GeForce Game Ready Driver v595.59 after gamers reported widespread black screens, freezes, overheating, and fan-control failures following a release that added support for Resident Evil Requiem, DLSS 4 MFG and DLSS Ray Reconstruction. The company removed the downloads, recommended rolling back to v591.86 WHQL for affected users, and said its engineers are investigating instability impacting RTX 50 series GPUs.
Key Points
- 1Reports show v595.59 causes black screens, freezes, overheating, and fan-control failures.
- 2Affected RTX 50 series GPUs exhibit instability, undermining player experience and hardware safety.
- 3Users should roll back to v591.86 WHQL and await NVIDIA investigation and patched driver.
Scoring Rationale
Official driver removal and rollback guidance raise urgency, but limited scope to RTX 50 series and shallow reporting.
