Nvidia reinstates 32-bit PhysX support for RTX 50 series as part of its latest Game Ready driver rollout
User reports claim December Windows 11 security update fixes AMD GPU hanging and driver crashing
As a result, Nvidia recalled the driver, advising gamers to instead revert to its earlier 591.86 driver. Luckily, Nvidia has released its new 595.71 driver, which, as with the previous release, introduces game-release optimizations for Resident Evil Requiem , which we've already put through its paces to test CPU performance , with reasonable success.
It also includes several game-facing bug fixes, as well as introduced 'game ready' support for Marathon, including support for DLSS Super Resolution and Nvidia Reflex. This driver is available for the latest Nvidia graphics cards immediately and can be downloaded from the Nvidia website .
This isn't the first time that Nvidia has encountered an issue with its driver. As recently as last year, the company was forced to issue an emergency bug fix after a Windows 11 update caused serious gaming performance issues . We also saw issues back in March 2025 when, following the release of its new RTX 50-series GPUs, drivers for older RTX 30 and 40-series cards were affected by BSODs and instability issues, forcing developers to recommend gamers roll back their drivers .
While Nvidia has been quick to recall and resolve the issues with this update, gamers will no doubt be hoping it's a bump in the road that won't happen again.
