Get It Together, NVIDIA - Terrible GPU Driver Stability
4/07/2025
NVIDIA has major GPU driver instability problems right now, and that includes the newer RTX 50 series (like the 5090) and the prior RTX 40 and 30 series alike. We read through user reports, then set forth to try and replicate the issues. In our reviews process, these problems didn't pop-up -- which gave us two critical hints: First, newer drivers may be (and were) worse than launch day drivers; second, some specific user configurations and NVIDIA game graphics settings were the problems. We found issues with setups using DLSS4, frame generation, GSync, and even just the monitor ports in a multi-monitor setup. We also pinpointed the newer driver versions as being key to these failures.
