Nvidia regularly releases new GeForce Game Ready drivers to make sure its graphics cards are optimized for the latest game launches. These updates are usually timed around major releases to improve performance, stability, and compatibility. However, Nvidia’s latest driver, version 595.59, which was meant to support Resident Evil Requiem, appears to have caused serious problems instead, forcing the company to ‘un-launch’ it, so to speak.

According to a report from ComputerBase, the driver has been triggering issues on RTX 30-series and newer GPUs. Multiple users claimed that after installing the update, their systems were only detecting a single fan on their graphics card. This raised concerns, especially since GPUs rely on multiple fans to maintain proper cooling under load. If fan control is not functioning correctly, it could potentially lead to overheating and long-term hardware damage.

Nvidia says you might want to roll back if you already updated

At first, some suspected that third-party tools such as MSI Afterburner might be interfering with the driver. However, at least one user reported experiencing the same issue without any overclocking or monitoring software installed. That suggests the problem may be directly tied to the driver itself rather than external applications.

Nvidia has pulled the 595.59 driver from its website. The update is no longer available for download, indicating the company is aware of the issue and has removed it from circulation. This was followed by an official announcement that recommends that users “experiencing issues with fan control” should roll back to the 591.86 WHQL version.

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.

You can roll back through the Nvidia App by going to the Drivers tab and selecting the previous version. If you do not use the Nvidia App, you can open Windows Device Manager, expand Display Adapters, double-click your GPU, go to the Driver tab, and choose “Roll Back Driver.” If that option is unavailable, you may need to fully uninstall the driver and reinstall the latest stable version currently listed on Nvidia’s site.
