If you just updated your graphics driver, you may want to double-check your version. Nvidia has rolled back its latest GeForce driver after discovering issues tied to GPU fan control.
The affected release—Game Ready and Studio 595.59 WHQL—was intended to optimize performance for new titles including Resident Evil Requiem and Marathon. However, Nvidia acknowledged a problem that could interfere with graphics card fan behavior, a critical component responsible for keeping high-end GPUs properly cooled.
Cooling issues are not something gamers take lightly. Modern graphics cards can cost well over $1,000, and improper fan control could lead to higher temperatures, throttling, or long-term hardware stress. Many enthusiasts also manually tune fan curves to balance noise levels and performance, making reliable driver behavior especially important.
Reports compiled by VideoCardz suggest fan control wasn’t the only issue. Some users experienced problems with boost clock behavior, broken HDR functionality, and sleep resume glitches affecting certain displays. While not universal, the range of complaints indicates the release may have needed additional testing.
Windows users can roll back to the previous stable driver using the official Nvidia app or by manually uninstalling the current version and installing the earlier 591.86 driver from Nvidia’s website.
For now, Nvidia appears to be addressing the issue before reissuing a corrected version. If you’re running 595.59 and notice unusual fan behavior or display glitches, reverting to the earlier driver may be the safest option until a fixed release becomes available.
