NVIDIA has just released driver 576.02 WHQL, mainly for GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics cards. This driver does not yet appear to be compatible with the RTX 5060.
The update also corrects a number of problems, including black screens at startup or after waking from sleep, bugs related to G-Sync and DLSS, and several in-game crashes. Some of the fixes are specific to the RTX 50 series, but others may also affect previous generations, under the heading "general stability issues".
NVIDIA has been trying to resolve the black screen problems that seem to plague RTX 50 users for many weeks now, all while claiming from the outset to take the issue seriously. We sincerely hope that this new driver will finally fix these annoying bugs.
