NVIDIA has released the GeForce 595.71 WHQL driver. The update delivers Game Ready support for Resident Evil Requiem and for Marathon, and it addresses the fan control problems introduced by the earlier 595.59 driver that prompted an immediate pull.
The release notes list specific game fixes. The Ascent will no longer show an intermittent black bar at the top of the screen on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs. Total War: THREE KINGDOMS will no longer display green artifacts on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs. Performance drops in Quantum Break on Act 4 Part 1 have been corrected. Stability for FINAL FANTASY XII The Zodiac Age is improved after previously reported crashes with fatal errors. Call of Duty Modern Warfare (2019) will no longer experience image corruption after a driver update.
The driver also resolves the fan monitoring and spinning issues introduced in 595.59 and includes a fix for a Blackmagic Design AV1 decode crash when multiple OBU appear in a single packet.
