Nvidia's 576.28 Game-Ready driver fixes grey screen crashes and various RTX 50 gaming issues

After releasing a big hotfix driver with a lot of RTX 50-specific bug fixes just two days ago, Nvidia is dropping a new Game-Ready WHQL driver under version 576.28. It does not contain support for any upcoming game and there are no new features. The sole goal of driver 576.28 is to fix a multitude of bugs that haunt RTX 50 series owners. Those include grey screen crashes, flickering, freezes, low GPU clocks on idle, incorrect temperature reporting, and more.

Here are the gaming bugs fixed with driver 576.28:

• [RTX 50 series] [Black Myth]: The game will randomly crash when Wukong transforms

• [RTX 50 series] Some games may crash while compiling shaders after updating to GRD 576.02
