Many NVIDIA graphics card users have encountered unpleasant issues after installing driver versions 576.40 and 576.52. Common problems include sudden 'black screens,' graphical artifacts, and complete game crashes. These issues have affected numerous popular titles, including Cyberpunk 2077.
Game developers, including those from CD Projekt RED, have officially confirmed that these crashes are directly related to the specified driver versions. The problems can arise from shader cache overflow and conflicts with hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling in Windows, especially on GeForce RTX 40 and RTX 50 series graphics cards.
To resolve these issues, NVIDIA has released a new, stable driver version 576.80. Developers strongly recommend that anyone experiencing crashes immediately update their driver to this version. This should significantly reduce the number of crashes and improve in-game stability.
The latest driver version can be downloaded from the official NVIDIA website.
