NVIDIA just released an emergency fix for widespread problems with their RTX 50 series "Blackwell" graphics cards. Many users reported black screens and system crashes since these expensive cards were launched. The new GeForce Hotfix Display Driver 572.75 addresses these issues plus fixes performance drops that happen after restarting computers with overclocked RTX 5080 or 5090 models. Users complained for weeks about system failures, especially when they tried using DLSS 4 frame generation features on their brand-new hardware.
You can only find this update through NVIDIA's Customer Care support website because they rushed it out through what they call an "abbreviated QA process" to help frustrated customers faster. Regular update channels don't offer it yet. The company admits its driver software contains complex code and mentions numerous software engineers tackling these bugs right away. Many early buyers feel angry about spending top dollar on premium graphics cards that crash during basic use.
NVIDIA plans to include these important fixes plus additional improvements in their next fully certified driver release. They haven't announced exactly when that complete update might arrive for everyone. The current hotfix represents their quick response to serious problems affecting their latest flagship products. People expect better reliability from such expensive computer hardware, especially from an industry leader like NVIDIA, which dominates the high-end graphics market.
TechPowerUp website explains they only distribute officially certified WHQL drivers rather than temporary hotfixes. Anyone experiencing these problems needs to visit NVIDIA's official website directly to download the emergency update. The hotfix specifically targets the entire RTX 50 lineup, which represents NVIDIA's newest generation of consumer graphics technology based on their Blackwell architecture. These high-performance cards cost between $800-$2000, depending on the specific model.
