Nvidia has rolled back the release of its Game Ready and Studio drivers. 595.59 WHQLOnly a few hours have passed since its release. The driver disrupted the automatic fan control algorithm for graphics card cooling systems, monitoring, and created numerous other problems.
"We've discovered a bug in the Game Ready and Studio 595.59 WHQL driver and have temporarily removed it from download while our team investigates. For those users who have already installed the driver and are experiencing issues with their graphics card fan curve settings, please roll back to driver version 591.86 WHQL." says in a statement from Nvidia.
User reports of issues with the GeForce Game Ready 595.59 driver primarily concern fan control and monitoring, primarily on GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards. Users report that some fans become unresponsive, custom fan speed curves are ignored, and tools like HWiNFO, GPU-Z, and graphics card manufacturer utilities only display a single fan sensor. Some users attribute this to MSI Afterburner profiles, while others report that the issue occurs even without third-party fan control software.
Some users are also complaining of decreased performance after updating the driver. There have been reports of lower peak clock rates after installing it. Some speculate that the driver limits GPU voltage to approximately 0,95V, which reduces clock rates on graphics cards such as the GeForce RTX 5080 and RTX 5090. Reports of instability are also appearing in separate threads on the Nvidia forum. Users are complaining of black screens, VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE errors, nvlddmkm crashes with event ID 153, freezes, and hard reboots. One report describes rebooting the PC from the desktop, i.e., in system idle mode, with Kernel-Power Event ID 41 and error code 270.
Some user reports also relate to HDR signal loss on Samsung TVs and problems waking up from sleep mode on Samsung ViewFinity S9 5K monitors. The system forcibly resets the resolution to 640 x 480 pixels, requiring a full reboot of the PC. Some users also complained of performance drops in games using Unreal Engine 5 and other engines. One complaint concerns issues with Starfield (Creation Engine 2). The issue was resolved by installing the previous driver version.
There are also reports that the driver first appeared and then quickly disappeared from the Nvidia App interface. Other users noted an incorrect driver release date. The author of this post encountered a changelog displaying the driver version. GeForce Game Ready 576.02 WHQL from April 2025, when the RTX 5060 Ti graphics card was released.
