Nvidia driver 615.56 breaks mVolt+ overclocking app for RTX 50-series GPUs

Nvidia driver version 615.56 causes mVolt+ to hard crash when adjusting core power limits on RTX 50-series GPUs, though the alternative overclocking utility Hydra 2.3B Pro continues to work.

WHY IT MATTERS

Engineers and enthusiasts who relied on mVolt+ to push RTX 50-series power limits up to 700W without hardware mods are now locked out of that capability on the latest driver. The fact that Hydra 2.3B Pro still functions suggests this is a driver conflict rather than an intentional block, so a fix from the mVolt+ developer may be possible.

The three things worth knowing

01

Nvidia driver 615.56 causes mVolt+ to hard crash when attempting to adjust core power limits on RTX 50-series GPUs.

02

mVolt+ previously allowed pushing RTX 50-series GPUs to 700W without hardware mods or specialized VBIOS, far beyond the 450W stock TDP.

03

Hydra 2.3B Pro still accepts power limit modifications on the same driver, indicating a conflict rather than a deliberate blacklist.
