Suppose you’ve been experiencing crashes, black screens, or other annoying problems while gaming. Nvidia’s latest driver update might be just what you need. Released on June 7, version 576.02 is one of the most comprehensive updates in recent memory. It tackles a wide range of bugs and stability issues that have affected both new and older GPUs.
This update is especially important if you’re using one of the newer RTX 50-series cards or have games running on DLSS 4. Since the launch of the RTX 5090 in January, many users have reported serious issues—including system crashes and screen glitches. Nvidia’s newest driver is designed to address these problems head-on, offering more reliable performance, whether gaming or working on your PC.
Key fixes for crashes and stability
The 576.02 driver includes significant improvements across the board. One of the biggest fixes targets a blue screen issue while playing DLSS 4-enabled games with Multi Frame Generation. If you’re on Windows 11 version 24H2, you might also have noticed stability problems—this driver should resolve those.
Many gamers have complained about random black screens, especially those using the RTX 50-series. Nvidia says this has now been fixed. Other improvements focus on general system stability and better game performance when using DLSS Frame Generation with GSYNC.
The update improves reliability in individual games. It reduces crashes in popular titles like Fortnite, Monster Hunter Wilds, Star Wars Outlaws, Overwatch 2, Control, The Last of Us Part I, Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, and Hellblade 2. For example, if your system used to stutter in Overwatch 2 when VSYNC was on or hang in Star Wars Outlaws after being idle, those problems should now be resolved.
A rare amount of fixes in one release
Nvidia doesn’t usually release such a long list of fixes in one go. Their regular Game Ready updates focus on just a few bug patches, taking up less than a full page in the release notes. This time, however, the list stretches to almost two pages, showing how many issues have been identified and addressed.
The problems started surfacing heavily after the release of the RTX 5090 and the wider rollout of DLSS 4 technology. Even users with older graphics cards began experiencing trouble. With this driver release, Nvidia is catching up on all those reports and delivering a much-needed improvement in overall performance and stability.
Support for a new graphics card
Alongside all the fixes, this driver also introduces support for the newly launched GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, which is available now starting at US$379. If you’re thinking about upgrading or purchasing the card, this driver will ensure it runs smoothly right from the start.
Whether you’re dealing with bugs or want to ensure you get the best performance out of your GPU, updating to version 576.02 is smart. It might not be the most exciting part of gaming, but a stable system is key—and this driver aims to deliver just that.
