Nvidia Releases Hotfix Driver to Resolve Temperature Reporting and Modern Standby Issues
Earlier today, reports surfaced about a concerning issue with Nvidia GPUs where temperature readings would get “stuck” and fail to update correctly. This problem, which affected all Nvidia GPU owners—not just those using the latest GeForce RTX 50 series—was suspected to be a reporting bug rather than a hardware malfunction. Fortunately, Nvidia has responded swiftly by releasing a hotfix driver to address the issue.
The issue primarily occurred after a PC woke from Sleep mode , leading to incorrect or frozen temperature readings in monitoring tools. While this didn’t directly impact GPU performance, it caused confusion and concern among users who rely on accurate temperature data to monitor system health.
Interestingly, Nvidia noted in the release notes that the problem may have been partially related to Windows itself, as the bug manifested during system state transitions like waking from Sleep.
GeForce Hotfix Display Driver version 576.15 is based on our latest Game Ready Driver 576.02.
