Nvidia has pulled the GeForce 595.59 WHQL Game Ready driver after the company identified “a bug” that it says can affect fan control. Users have also reported broader instability tied to the same package. Nvidia is asking affected users to uninstall 595.59 and perform a clean installation of driver version 591.86 instead.
Version 595.59 has already been removed from Nvidia’s download page, and the company’s public release listing has reverted to 591.86. Despite the removal, indications are that most systems can still boot and install the older, stable driver without issue. Reports of problems with 595.59 have appeared on user forums and feedback threads, including a GeForce feedback thread on Nvidia’s forums that lists specific symptoms such as fans not being detected, only a single fan continuing to spin, and instability in GPU clock speeds.
Build 595.59 was intended to add day-one support for two recent PC releases, Resident Evil Requiem and Marathon. Those games remain playable on older drivers, but some fixes or optimizations targeted by 595.59 will not be present until a corrected driver is released. The 595.59 package also bundled fixes for a range of other issues. The release notes credited it with addressing intermittent black bar flicker in The Ascent, green artifacting in Total War: Three Kingdoms, a crash in Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age, image corruption in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and a performance drop affecting Act 4 Part 1 of Quantum Break. If any of those fixes are essential to a user’s setup, a revised 595.59 will be required to restore them.
Nvidia has not provided a timeline for a corrected driver. The company stated that its engineering team is investigating the bug and working on a resolution. If you installed 595.59, tell us what happened in the comments and follow for updates on X, Bluesky, YouTube, and Instagram.
