Nvidia driver 595.71 reportedly limits overclocks on some GeForce GPUs, but not all — troubled driver release seems to stifle voltages on RTX 40- and 50-series cards

Nvidia's 595.71 driver release is reportedly causing issues with GPU overclocking on some RTX 40- and 50-series cards, limiting voltage and reducing overclocking headroom by around 200MHz. The problem seems to stem from artificial voltage limitations in the driver, impacting users like Bang4BuckPC gamer who experienced a significant drop in overclocking capabilities. While some RTX 50 series GPUs are unaffected, others have reported similar issues on Nvidia forums, with some users seeing their GPUs running significantly lower than before. Nvidia has not officially acknowledged the problem yet, but it appears to be a bug rather than an intentional change, leading to frustration among gaming enthusiasts awaiting a potential fix.
