Overview
- Nvidia issued GeForce hotfix drivers v595.76 and v595.78 that remove unintended GPU voltage capping on overclocked cards and improve Resident Evil Requiem path-tracing performance.
- Sean Pelletier said an over‑the‑air profile update for 595.71 restores expected performance in Requiem, and users may need to reboot for it to apply.
- Release notes and reports cite additional fixes including white glowing dots in Requiem and crashes in Starfield, with the newer 595.78 flagged for affected users.
- Driver 595.59 was previously pulled after a fan‑monitoring bug could stop GPU cooling fans, prompting Nvidia’s rapid follow‑ups.
- PC Gamer’s testing did not replicate large performance losses across multiple drivers and GPUs, indicating the regressions affected only some configurations, and Nvidia advises unaffected users to stay on the standard WHQL branch because hotfixes undergo abbreviated QA.
