NVIDIA Issues vBIOS Update to Fix RTX 5060 (Ti) Reboot Black Screens

[Neo_Morpheus]

Looks like the search for greed has finally caught up with nGreedia, I've never seen such incompetence from them before. They really couldn't care less about this market anymore.

1.) Unstable drivers since the launch, and there are still issues.
2.) Nvidia App also causing issues and crashing
3.) Display connectivity problems
4.) 12VHP burning up and nearly the whole tech sphere and nVidia is gaslighting customers about it to this day
5.) Missing ROPs across multiple SKU's.
6.) Market manipulation

1- Lies.
2- Lies.
3- Lies.
4- Lies.

6- Lies.

We all know that its clearly AMD fault....

/S in case is needed.

Yes, this is their most disastrous video card launch from their history by far.

Yet you rarely see anyone nailing them to the cross in the same way that they all did and are still doing to AMD.

I mean, ask anywhere which company STILL has bad drivers and they all will respond AMD.

How many RDNA4 gpus you saw listed at the last Steam Hardware Survey and how many Ngreedia 5000 series?

Yeah, they are still selling like crazy.

Ps I know, sadly, the SHS is not a reliable source, but still shows some numbers.

Since people are seemingly incapable of reading the actual article - the issue would be rare at best since it affects either REALLY old motherboards without full UEFI support or people running in CSM mode, which isn’t a default for modern Windows installations and prohibits the use of ReBAR anyway, so most people switched to UEFI just due to that. NVidia fucked up, no doubt, but people acting like the cards just blackscreen for everyone 24/7 have read the title only, apparently.

5 series is kind of a mess

Lol, even GeForce FX disaster seems timid compared to this trainwreck. GeForce FX just had the wrong kind of design for how games were developed and performed poorly in games at that time. This here for RTX 5000 series is just pure incompetence and giving zero F's all in one because they are oozing Ai money out of their wazoo. I'm also glad I bought Radeon RX 9000 series this time around. Great card.

It can't be a coincidence that they screwed up with 5000 series once again.

I mean seriously, don't they have anyone left in the quality check department?

Interesting to see how AMDs new GPU's perform way better on 1% lows:

The irony is how valuable and collectable the high end FX (5000) series is, I wonder of the RTX 50 series will suffer the same "fate"

The AI code generation looked up to GeForce 5000 from its trained set and brought the bugs back from the FX series.

Nothing would surprise me lol

Nvidia driver overhead. AMD use to be the bady but then they fixed it. Nvidia drivers and App is now worse than AMD in that regard.

Been a problem for many years and Nvidia don't seem interested in fixing it.

I have had my 5090 for a few days now and must say it's even more stable than my old 4090, particularly with media playback (viewing multiple video with ICAT to compare image quality was always sluggish with 4090).

Never experienced any black screen, stutter, power cable issue (even got per-pin power display on Afterburner OSD to look like a Pro ).

Only took me a few hours to set up the undervolt because Blackwell clock gen is weird, other than that I can enjoy this card for the next 2 year without the need to tinker with anything.

This isn't about the 5090, the article indicates it only applies to the 5060 series.

 

[JustBenching]

I feel so lucky to have escaped literally every single issue this gen so far except one bug related to overclocking which was fixed in about a week.

Either I'm extremely lucky or the issues are overblown and exaggerated... I wonder which one it could be.

Same here, although i got a 40 series cards. I feel like im either neo from matrix dodging bugs like bullets or people are exaggerating

Just when you think Nvidia couldn't screw up the 50 series more than they already have, there's some even worse news. I've lost track of how many insane blunders and bad PR moments they've had this year, and I'm sure we're not finished yet, either!

How this company can hold a majority of the marketshare is mind-boggling, it borders on corruption and manipulation when you consider the consoles that dominate the attention of game-developers have been running on AMD graphics since 2013.

Nvidia has the majority sales in consoles as well. And the new switch isnt even out yet..

 

[Paganstomp]

As they say, when it rains it pours. Or if nVidia was a ship owned by the North Koreans... it's sinking fast.

Not a single problem here either. Same with my 30 series.

 

[Broken Processor]

I'm more interested in who is buying these cards.

 

[AGlezB]

Are you sure? Because as far as I can tell, PlayStation and Xbox together make more than 60% of the console marketshare and both use AMD GPUs and so does the Steam Deck and the Asus ROG Ally. The only device I could find using NVidia is the Switch, but do note I didn't check every single handheld in the market so there might be more.

Nvidia driver overhead. AMD use to be the bady but then they fixed it. Nvidia drivers and App is now worse than AMD in that regard.

People keep saying that but I actually had less driver overhead on my 3090ti, though AMD has certainly improved I still don't buy that they are "better" in that way. A more realistic way to phrase this, is both AMD and NVIDIA are acceptable now, and Intel has a ways to go.

tl;dr, there's nothing to fix.

"NVIDIA has quietly released a firmware patch for its GeForce RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti graphics cards to fix a frustrating blank-screen issue"

Why quietly, why not loud and clear.............Look we fixed this already!!!

And maybe throw in an apology or something?

It's just the expected reaction when there's an opportunity to dunk on Nvidia, a few here have their entire personality wrapped up in that. Understanding the details and applying logic are not required.

 

[uuee]

I never seen video drivers so bad in my entire life, and I'm gaming since S3 Virge 64 V+ times.

64V+ was a Trio. Virge came later

Steam deck and ally aren't consoles man. Your link shows ps5 + xbox having like half the sales of switch

We are talking about an issue that might or might not exist at 10-15 year old systems. Quite a huge deal, amiright?

 

[Prima.Vera]

Correct. Edited.
I had the Virge too. By far was the worst "3D accelerator" ever. The 3DFx Voodoo 1 was running circles around it.
I still remember using my Virge to play Star Wars: Shadow of the Empire, and the graphics was a garbage mess, running at 2- fps max, then the game frozen after 10 mins of gameplay.

 

[wolf]

By far was the worst "3D accelerator" ever.

I have one and remember using one in the day, if memory serves, all the retro coverage on YouTube refer to them infamously as a 3d decelerator Thankfully I was rescued by a borrowed Voodoo Banshee, and then a GeForce 2 MX400 as my first owned video card ever, bought as a gift given I was 13 at the time

OK. Just ponting out every handheld I looked at also used AMD except one (don't remember which one) which had an Intel GPU.

If you were looking at the lifetime sales graph you need to aggregate the relevant devices by brand while also accounting for devices no longer in the market.

No need to argue with him about Nvidia vs AMD in the console market when it's not even relevant.

Sure, the Switch with its Nvidia GPU is popular, but Nintendo don't publish titles on PC, so why does it even matter for a a discussion about the hardware of cross-platform titles?

PC / PlayStation / XBOX are what started this straw-man argument when I said consoles had been using AMD for since 2013. Nvidia aren't in the Playstation or XBox, so that's it - end of discussion, and it will remain the end of the discussion until Nintendo start officially developing games for PC.

Aren't you beginning to imagine that this is a hardware defect? It seems to me that software is being used as a means to mitigate it, but at the end of the day it is incapable of correcting it completely.
