NVIDIA Addresses “Black Screen” Problems with RTX 50 Graphics Cards; Upcoming Driver Update This Week

NVIDIA is in the process of addressing “black screen”problems associated with its GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs. The company is gearing up for an important driver update aimed at alleviating these issues for affected users.

NVIDIA’s Initiative to Resolve Black Screen Problems with RTX Blackwell GPUs

The commitment from NVIDIA, also known as Team Green, to rectify the issues surrounding its RTX Blackwell series of graphics cards is commendable. Although an official resolution for the “black screen”problem has not yet been released, reports indicate that a user on Reddit successfully resolved these issues with a new BIOS update for their MSI Gaming Trio RTX 5090. This update not only fixed the black screen occurrences but also reportedly enhanced the GPU’s overall performance. This suggests that NVIDIA’s add-in board (AIB) partners are indeed making strides in troubleshooting these concerns related to firmware.

An NVIDIA representative has confirmed that VBIOS updates are part of the strategy to resolve the black screen dilemma, although this solution does not apply universally. The issue, often referred to as “bricking, ”affecting the RTX 50 GPUs may not be solely attributed to the BIOS. Experts suggest that potential causes include problems with the onboard driver or PCIe connectivity. To remedy the situation, NVIDIA plans to release a new GPU driver by the end of this week, which they hope will eliminate these persistent issues for users.

For consumers currently facing these problems, it is highly recommended to review the latest firmware updates available from their specific AIB partner and apply those updates. Should this not rectify the situation, users may have to wait for the forthcoming driver update. Additionally, the issue may be linked to PCIe signaling, and previous analyses suggest that switching to PCIe 4.0, an established standard, may provide a solution.
