NVIDIA today released its latest GeForce 595.59 WHQL Game Ready driver, adding day-one support for Resident Evil Requiem and Marathon. The update also addresses several gaming-related issues, particularly affecting GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs. Fixes include intermittent black bar flickering in The Ascent, green artifacts in Total War: Three Kingdoms, and crash issues in Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age following recent driver updates. NVIDIA also resolved image corruption problems in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and a significant performance drop in Act 4 Part 1 of Quantum Break.
On the general fixes side, the 595.59 driver resolves an AV1 decode crash affecting certain workflows in Blackmagic Design applications when handling multiple OBUs (Open Bitstream Unit) within a single packet.
Update 20:38 UTC: NVIDIA has pulled its GeForce 595.59 WHQL driver after users reported stability problems, including faulty fan detection leaving GPU coolers running on a single fan and clock speed issues. The company is pointing affected users back to the previous 591.86 WHQL release for now.
