NVIDIA's GeForce Game Ready Driver 595.71 has been released to address various issues and provide a smoother gaming experience, especially with the support for DLSS 4 on both Windows 10 and 11. A key bug fix in this update is related to fan monitoring, which had previously caused GPU fans to stop spinning or not display real-time speeds after an update. Additionally, several game-specific bugs have been corrected, including black bars in Ascent, green artifacts in Total War: THREE KINGDOMS, fatal crashes in FINAL FIANCLTY XII The Zodiac Age, image corruption in Call of Duty Modern Warfare, and performance drops in Quantum Break Act 4 Part 1. Overall, the new driver resolves several general system bugs, including fan-monitoring failures and a crash in Blackmagic Design's AV1 decoder.
GeForce Game Ready Driver 595.71 Brings Fan‑Detection Fixes and DLSS 4 Support for Windows 10 and 11
The latest NVIDIA driver gives gamers a smoother experience on the newest titles that use DLSS 4, while also solving a pesky fan‑monitoring regression that left many users wondering why their GPUs were silent after an update. It works on both Windows 10 (64‑bit) and Windows 11.
What You Need to Know About This Update
After the previous driver released last week, several people reported that their GPU fans wouldn’t spin or that hardware monitoring utilities stopped listing all the fans. One user posted a forum thread saying the fan blades stayed still even though temperatures spiked past 80 °C. The new driver corrects that bug, so users can see real‑time fan speeds and keep their cards cool again.
Key Bug Fixes
- Black bar in Ascent (RTX 50 Series) – an intermittent strip of black appeared at the top of the screen during intense moments; fixed now.
- Green artifacts in Total War: THREE KINGDOMS – a glitch that produced bright green streaks on RTX 50 GPUs has been squashed.
- Fatal crash in FINAL FIANCLTY XII The Zodiac Age – the game no longer aborts after the driver update.
- Image corruption in Call of Duty Modern Warfare (2019) – corrupted frames are gone; gameplay looks normal again.
- Performance drop in Quantum Break Act 4 Part 1 – frame rates return to expected levels.
General system bugs addressed include fan‑monitoring failures and a crash in Blackmagic Design’s AV1 decoder when handling packets with multiple OBUs. If those problems were bothering you before, the driver should resolve them.
