Nvidia to Release Driver Fix for RTX 50-Series Black Screen Issues

The update addresses widespread black screen problems affecting multiple GPU generations, with a VBIOS update already available for some users.

Nvidia has confirmed a driver update will be released this week to fix black screen issues on RTX 50-series, 40-series, and 30-series GPUs.
The RTX 50-series, particularly the RTX 5080 and 5090, has been most affected by the issue, which also caused system instability and crashes.
A VBIOS update, already available from some manufacturers like MSI, has resolved the issue for certain users and reportedly improved GPU performance.
The root cause of the problem has not been disclosed, but Nvidia suggests the driver and VBIOS updates implement similar fixes through different methods.
The RTX 50-series launch has faced criticism for high prices, limited stock, and additional issues like missing ROP units and melting power connectors.
