So it’s not just AMD cards that suffer from driver problems, as some on the Internet would have us believe. It even happens to the best, such as NVIDIA, which is experiencing a few setbacks with its RTX 50s. Indeed, users of the newly launched cards are also having to contend with software problems. On the agenda: BSODs, black screens, etc, etc. This is a particularly worrying problem, as there is no fallback solution, no older version that works better.
NVIDIA is investigating this driver problem affecting RTX 50s!
As far as these new cards are concerned, the situation is truly complicated, because with the software side facing a number of setbacks, we can really talk about a disaster. As I said a moment ago, some users are experiencing problems with black screens and even BSODs. Unfortunately, the latest driver update didn’t do much to correct the problem, apart from a problem with prolonged standby. The worst thing is that, because the cards are so young, it’s not possible to go back to an older version of the driver, as too few versions have been released.
So what can you do? To correct or mitigate these problems, some users find workarounds. These range from reducing PCIe bus speed to disabling features such as DLSS4. Others even go so far as to limit their display frequency to 60 Hz. While this may work for some, it’s by no means a guarantee of success, but when in doubt, it’s worth a try.
Of course, as indicated on the Chameleon forum, NVIDIA is aware of the ongoing problems. Of course, the brand is investigating and a potential VBIOS update is expected. This future operation therefore seems to indicate that it may well be a problem with the firmware on the graphics cards. Wait and see, as they say.
