Keeping graphics drivers current is advisable for PC components, particularly powerful ones used in demanding video games. Nvidia typically delivers dependable updates in this area, but the most recent GeForce release has proven problematic, prompting the company to revert to an earlier version.
In a notice released the previous day at 2 p.m. ET, Nvidia highlighted a malfunction in fan management within the Game Ready and Studio 595.59 WHQL driver. This update included targeted optimizations for the recently launched and eagerly awaited titles Resident Evil Requiem and Marathon. Windows users may revert to the prior driver through the Nvidia application or by removing the current installation and obtaining version 591.86, dated January, directly from Nvidia's site.
Effective fan regulation plays a crucial role in maintaining the temperature of hardware that can retail for over $1,000. Many enthusiasts invest effort in customizing these settings to optimize acoustics or efficiency. Reports from users indicate additional flaws beyond fan issues, with VideoCardz noting disruptions in boost clock speeds, HDR functionality failures, challenges resuming from sleep on certain monitors, and various minor errors. Evidently, this driver required further refinement before deployment.
