WORLDTECHNvidia deploys GeForce hotfix driver 621.12 to remedy black screens and freezes on RTX 50 GPUs
What happened
Thankfully, a hotfix is now available to download if you don’t fancy rolling back to a prior version. Game Ready Driver 621.01 launched on October 21, bringing support for Advanced Shader Delivery , optimisations for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, and Cyberpunk 2077 .
NVIDIA GeForce/RTX Spark Hotfix Driver v621.12 is now available. If your GeForce RTX 50 series graphics card isn't playing nice with your display, this driver hot fix should be your top priority. NVIDIA is a semiconductor company based in Santa Clara, and its products and services include graphics processing units.
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 series is on the fritz again, as well as the RTX Spark, following yet another problematic driver update, which sees black screens make a return on the graphics cards as well as video playback freezes. However, it sadly didn’t take long for reports of black screens and freezing to emerge on the Nvidia forums, first seen on a GeForce RTX 5080 .
