- Nvidia’s new GeForce Hotfix -DisplayDriver 572.75 allegedly resolves the overblocking problem for some
- Problems with black screens remain when users vote additional complaints
- It adds to the growing list of Team Green’s controversy in the middle of the RTX 5000 series launch
Nvidia’s recent game -ready drivers have come up with a list of problems that appear to have begun with the launch of its RTX 5000 series and seems to affect all kinds of RTX GPU owners. While Team Green is working hard to solve driver -hack, some users are still frustrated.
As highlighted on Nvidia’s support page, a new GeForce Hotfix display driver 572.75 has been released with patch notes relating to an over -clock problem, including black screen problems (especially on the RTX 5000 series GPUs). This comes after the previous game Ready Driver 572.70, which added support to the new RTX 5070 GPU and had to solve a black screen starting problem leaving users who are stuck on an empty login screen when connected via DisplayPort on certain screens. Unfortunately, it seems that the latter remains for some users.
It is not exactly clear whether the problem comes from the driver’s dedicated support to Team Green’s New Blackwell GPUs – one thing that is clear, however, is that the black screen problem mostly occurs under System Boot, making PCS Inoperable (beyond BIOS) until repaired via Windows Recovery Mode.
After facing black screen problems myself, I have switched back to Driver 572.47, and it has been smooth sailing without being in strong problems to notice. Due to reports that this latest hotfix does not seem to have solved the problems completely, this is another reason why it may be best to avoid updating drivers for now unless needed.

More Momentum for AMD …
It’s no secret that the RTX 5000 series -launch has been a bit of a mess -from reports of missing rops, limited accessibility, inflated prices (partner cards), and now driver problems are leaving some fans of Team Green in a sour mood.
AMDS RADEON RX 9070 series has also just launched, which enjoys plenty of praise for its performance features at affordable prices – and while it’s not a perfect launch as the prices of some retailers are over MSRP, Team Red has started a much better start compared to its biggest rival.
The tide seems to be drastic now that AMDS Radeon GPU drivers were often criticized for problems in the past – as some used as a reason to avoid Radeon GPUs – but this is now happening with Nvidia’s game -ready drivers.
If this same pattern continues, I expect AMD GPUs to become much more popular with PC players – and as someone who has shouted for competition against Nvidia’s market dominance, it is comfortable to see – although I would rather AMD’s success did not come at the expense of bad experiences for NVIDIA GPU owners.
