A hot potato: With the black/blue screen of death and system instability, there are still affecting owners of Geforce RTX 4000 and RTX 3000 graphics cards, some game developers are now advising users to escape from the latest drivers of NVIDIA or roll back on December release.
Since updating 572.xx drivers of NVIDIA, many RTX 40 and 30-series users have experienced problems with some new games, especially INZOI and the first Berserker: Khazan. Issues include crash, freeze, stuttering and sudden frame drops.
Inzoi developer Crafton wrote in his notes on graphics drivers that when it recommends RTX 50-series owners, the latest 572.83 driver uses the driver, the same driver can cause frame drop and stutter while playing the game on RTX 40-series cards.
For example, it recommends using the driver version 566.36 from December 2024. Any RTX 30-series owners are also recommended to use the old driver version that experiences issues.
The First Burser: Khazan Developer Niopal wrote a similar recommendation in his notes for the best gaming experience.
The fact is that two very large recent sports developers have been forced to release these warnings, showing how broad the problems have become.
It was returned in February when we first heard about the issues affecting the cards of RTX 50, 40, and 30 generations of Nvidia, with the Blackwell line the most affected. They originated from NVIDIA’s 572.16 driver release, which enabled RTX 50 support. Some users were reported to be around problems by cap by capting the refresh rate of their display on 60Hz.
One person wrote that rolling back to 566.36 driver was his ASUS RTX 4070 TI Super TUF card affecting problems affecting the problems, the symptoms of which included cyberpank 2077 which were crashing their entire PCs.
Nvidia confirmed that it was investigating the issues and would be issuing the driver updates to address them, many of which have been pushed out. While they decide most of the problems affecting the RTX 5000 line, they are not as effective for old graphics cards. This accused many users of prioritizing their latest cards on NVidia, while ignoring issues affecting the Lovelace and Ampere series.
With no indication of fix on the horizon, people with the previous generation graphics cards are experiencing problems, becoming increasingly disappointed.
