Recently, we told you about a problem with the NVIDIA driver. Indeed, after quitting a game, the driver could generate a high CPU usage. This could reach 15%, or even 20% according to some comments. Anyway, the greens have not been idle and, two days later, they published their little patch under the name of GeForce 531.26 HotFix.
GeForce 531.26 HotFix: fix high CPU usage!
With this fix NVIDIA addresses the problem of high CPU usage after exiting a game. Normally, after installing it, you should not encounter this problem anymore. The best way to be sure is to open the task manager and sort the CPU usage in ascending order.
With this, this patch contains a second fix, this time for some notebooks. It will concern machines equipped with GeForce GTX 10/MX250/350 series graphics chips. With these chips, random bug checks could be observed.
Otherwise, this hotfix version is based on GeForce 531.18 WHQL for additions, optimizations and fixes. To find out what it’s all about, don’t hesitate to consult our dedicated brief. For the download, it’s below:
