Summary

  • Nvidia has released a new GPU driver to fix a string of issues, including bugs and crashes, which should hopefully resolve the stability issues affecting RTX 50-series GPUs that have been frustrating gamers and NFT miners alike ever since the launch of DLSS 4.
  • The new driver (version 576.02) also adds support for the new GeForce RTX 5060 Ti GPU, starting at $379, which is also being released today, and includes fixes for issues including random black screens, system crashes and blue screens.
  • Just as importantly, the new driver also plugs security holes that could potentially allow malware to gain admin privileges, as noted by TechSpot.
  • Nvidia’s Mueller comments on Microsoft acquisition speculation
  • Nvidia continues to emphatically deny that it is trying to acquire UK chip designer Arm, despite growing speculation that a deal is close to announcement, and a statement from the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) that it intends to launch a “comprehensive investigation” into the proposed $66bn takeover.
