It’s been a few days since Nvidia recalled its last GeForce GPU driver, and a new one has already been released to replace it. The new GeForce 595.71 driver fixes the potentially catastrophic errors with its 595.59 version that reportedly caused issues on RTX 30-series and newer cards.
The issue, as we reported on at the time, was spotted by users who spotted an issue with how the driver handled fan usage on their cards. In some instances, the fans on Nvidia GPUs weren’t being detected properly, with reports in several forums, including the official Nvidia forum, about the issue. A more catastrophic bug, however, was the driver causing one or more GPU fans to stop spinning entirely.
