Nvidia says it actually has sorted RTX 50-series black display points this time round as one more driver repair finds its strategy to launch

I used to be below the impression the Nvidia RTX 50-series black display concern was useless and buried at this level, after VBIOS updates had been launched for some affected playing cards and an official driver from Nvidia itself claimed to repair it.

However, GeForce Hotfix Driver Version 572.75 claims to repair two particular issues (by way of Tom’s Hardware). The first is said to the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 particularly, as the motive force claims to repair a difficulty the place both card could refuse to run at full pace when overclocked after a reboot. And the second? Yep, it is a black display repair as soon as once more:

• [GeForce RTX 5080/5090] Graphics playing cards could not run at full speeds on system reboot when overclocked [5088034]
• [GeForce RTX 50-series] GeForce RTX 50 sequence GPUs crashes with black display  [5120886]

So, in case you’re an proprietor of an RTX 50-series GPU, initially, congratulations on discovering one—and second, I’d seize this explicit driver in case you’re nonetheless stricken by black display points.

Or even in case you’re not. Our take a look at playing cards have been behaving themselves since each the VBIOS updates and the earlier most-recent drivers, nevertheless it by no means hurts to go for a belt and braces method with this kind of factor.

Our superb {hardware} overlord Dave James was beforehand compelled to run an MSI RTX 5090 at 60 Hz to stop black screens from occurring previous to the VBIOS replace, and that strikes as some type of merciless punishment for the hardware-inclined.

A $2,000+ GPU with Multi Frame Generation help, compelled to show at 60 Hz due to some behind-the-scenes malfunction. If you’d put down all that money on one your self, I feel you’d have honest cause to be upset.

Still, a number of bites of the black display cherry hopefully means we will all put this concern behind us and return to discussing the ludicrous value mark ups and lack of availability of latest GPUs as issues at present stand. Business as normal for 2025 it appears, of us. Business as normal.
