**Nvidia Recalls GeForce Game Ready Driver 595.59 Over Serious Performance Issues**
In a surprising turn of events, Nvidia has issued a recall of their newly released GeForce Game Ready driver version 595.59 WHQL, just hours after its launch. This decision comes in the wake of numerous reports from users experiencing critical issues affecting the cooling fans, core clock speeds, and overall game performance on their RTX graphics cards.
The initial announcement for driver 595.59 highlighted its optimization for the much-anticipated launch of *Resident Evil Requiem*. However, it now carries an urgent warning from Nvidia: “We have discovered a bug in the Game Ready and Studio 595.59 WHQL drivers and have removed the downloads temporarily while our team investigates. For users that have already installed this driver and are experiencing issues with fan control, please roll back to 591.86 WHQL.”
Reports indicate that the primary concern revolves around malfunctioning fan controls. While these issues do not manifest as catastrophic failures—such as fans detaching from their mounts—users claim that the new driver disrupts the sensors responsible for regulating fan speeds. This miscommunication can lead to overheating risks, which poses a significant threat given the ongoing shortages and high costs associated with replacing graphics cards exacerbated by memory chip scarcity.
In addition to fan-related problems, users have highlighted other concerning issues linked to the 595.59 driver, including significantly reduced boost clock speeds on RTX 50 series models, application crashes, and a noted decline in performance in games built on Unreal Engine 5. The complexities surrounding these problems suggest that the driver is far from stable, reinforcing the need for users to revert to the previous version, 591.86, which reportedly functions without these complications.
For users who have attempted to enjoy *Resident Evil Requiem* with the 595.59 driver, experiences have been mixed. Some have managed to play without encountering issues, but the uncertainty surrounding the new driver raises the question of whether the minor performance enhancements are worth risking hardware integrity.
As Nvidia continues its investigation into these issues, the community remains hopeful for a swift resolution, as many gamers rely on optimal performance and stability for their gaming experiences. The recall serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between innovation and reliability in the fast-evolving world of graphics technology.
