Nvidia released GeForce Game Ready Driver Version 572.60 earlier in the week, but one of the most important bug fixes was ineffectual in some cases, according to various tech forum members. Today, Nvidia has sought to plug its GPU black screen issues more tightly with GeForce Hotfix Driver Version 572.65. Fingers crossed it works this time.
There's just one bullet point in the GeForce Hotfix Display Driver version 572.65 description. "This hotfix addresses the following issue: PC may boot to a black screen when connected via DisplayPort with certain monitors [5131002]," writes Nvidia. However, a follow-up paragraph outlines the arduous task facing graphics driver developers in 2025. "A GeForce driver is an incredibly complex piece of software," says Nvidia. "We have an army of software engineers constantly adding features and fixing bugs. These changes are checked into the main driver branches, which are eventually run through a massive QA process and released."
