Recent revelations about the GeForce RTX 5090 GPUs allegedly failing have caught NVIDIA’s attention, prompting an investigation into the matter. This concern has emerged following a series of problems reported by users, including those with the Chinese variant, the RTX 5090D.
For days now, frustrated owners of these high-end graphics cards have been facing consistent issues, despite trying a variety of troubleshooting techniques. While a few have stumbled upon unconventional solutions that seem to offer temporary respite, the majority find themselves grappling with persistent problems. The issue has become widespread enough to warrant a response from NVIDIA, which has now taken notice. According to a report by PC Gamer, NVIDIA mentioned:
“We are investigating the reported issues with the RTX 50 series.”
Though brief, this statement indicates that NVIDIA acknowledges the situation. If this is news to you, it’s worth revisiting an article we published earlier that dives deeper into the specifics. In short, numerous users have discovered that both the RTX 5090 and RTX 5090D GPUs refuse to display anything other than a black screen upon updating the driver.
This problem seems to manifest immediately after installing the latest driver from NVIDIA. Unfortunately, even reverting back to an earlier driver version hasn’t restored functionality, leaving the GPU unrecognized by the system. Some have even attempted to reset the BIOS, only to find that the graphics card remains elusive, failing to show up in both the Device Manager and BIOS.
The precise cause remains elusive, though speculation hints at possible architectural or driver compatibility issues rather than an inherent hardware flaw. As we await a more detailed response from NVIDIA, the tech community is holding its breath for a remedy to what seems to be a major issue afflicting the RTX 5090 and 5090D models.
