NVIDIA has just released the NVIDIA GeForce Hotfix Driver 572.24, and shared its full changelog. This brand new driver fixes a couple of issues, and it is recommended for those that play Valorant. So, let’s take a closer look at it.
The NVIDIA GeForce Hotfix Driver 572.24 fixes some crash issues that could occur in Valorant when running it on an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080. Moreover, it fixes some freeze issues that could occur when exiting Final Fantasy XVI on Windows 11 23H2.
As always, if you don’t suffer from these two issues, you can safely skip this hotfix driver. From what I could see, it does not bring any performance or optimization improvements. It also does not have any new game profiles. Plus, the NVIDIA App version that is bundled with it is the same that NVIDIA released a few days ago.
If, on the other hand, you want to try it, you can download it from this link. You can also find its complete changelog at the end of the article.
Speaking of issues with the RTX50 series, both the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 have major “red/color painted” artifacts when forcing Anisotropic Filtering from the Control Panel. I was able to replicate this multiple times. So, make sure to not change it, otherwise, you’ll get artifacts in various games. I’ve already informed NVIDIA about it. So, hopefully, they’ll fix it in a future driver.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will come out later today. So, I’m curious to see whether the green team will also release a new driver for it. I doubt it but hey, you never know. Let’s also hope that we’ll get a game profile for FF7 Rebirth.

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
