Nvidia announced that it offered performance improvements with its new GeForce driver numbered 576.02. However, user complaints did not decrease despite the updates. Crashing problems, especially in large-scale AAA games, continue to worry users.
New Nvidia update caused crashes in games
The new driver was reported to provide a performance increase of 6 to 8 percent in the 3DMark Steel Nomad test. However, the same version offered almost no improvement in tests such as Speed Way and Time Spy.
More importantly, it is said that high-budget productions such as Black Myth: Wukong, Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Monster Hunter Wilds are still experiencing crashing problems.
Although Nvidia stated that it has provided solutions to such problems in all its drivers released since February, some game developers are urging users to return to version 566.36, released in December 2024. It was claimed that this older version worked more stably, especially for the RTX 40 and RTX 30 series cards.
In addition, some models of the RTX 40 series have been the target of performance criticism. For example, the RTX 5070 model; Although it competes directly with AMD’s RX 9070 and 9070 XT graphics cards, it sometimes exhibits lower performance, especially when compared to the 4070 Super.
Although Nvidia’s new update promises a performance increase, the stability problem experienced in games has raised questions. So what do you think about this issue? You can share your opinions with us in the comments section below.
