Summary
The latest GeForce Game Ready Driver 595.59 reportedly disables one fan on Nvidia RTX 30-series and newer GPUs, raising concerns among users about performance issues without the need for third-party applications like MSI Afterburner.
Key Insights
What specific fan issue does the Nvidia Game Ready Driver 595.59 cause on RTX GPUs?
The driver causes GPUs to report or detect only a single fan instead of all fans, affecting monitoring tools and potentially leading to inadequate cooling on RTX 3000, 4000, and 5000-series cards.
How can users fix the fan detection issue caused by Nvidia driver 595.59?
Users should roll back to the previous driver (e.g., 591 series) using the Nvidia App's Drivers tab, Windows Device Manager's Roll Back Driver option, or by uninstalling and reinstalling the prior stable driver, as Nvidia has removed the problematic 595.59 version.
