NVIDIA has a new hotfix driver

Focusing on several game issues. 



We got used to seeing NVIDIA releasing hotfix drivers more frequenlty than before, but this release does not appear to be a major one. It does not focus on hardware crashes or fixes, rather it focuses on game related problems. 

NVIDIA has rolled out GeForce Hotfix 576.66, which is built on the recent Game Ready Driver 576.52. This update targets specific stability and display issues affecting recent games and RTX 50 series GPUs. Among the fixes, players of Dune: Awakening, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and EA Sports FC 25 should see improved stability, as NVIDIA has resolved reported crashes tied to these titles.

The hotfix also addresses visual anomalies on RTX 50 series cards. In Dragon’s Dogma 2, shadow flickering has been corrected, while a separate issue causing brief red or green flash corruption during video playback in web browsers has also been fixed, according to the changelog:
