RTX 5090 Graphics Cards Face Early Setup Issues.
Users report black screens with NVIDIA's new RTX 5090 graphics cards. The problem happens during driver setup on some computers with PCIe 5.0 connections.
Tech groups across China and other countries found the cards stop working after the driver is installed. The screens go dark, and computers cannot find the cards. Tests show this stems from how the cards work with PCIe 5.0 parts in certain computers.
The trouble starts when new drivers meet PCIe 5.0 systems. The fast data speeds from PCIe 5.0 clash with some computer boards. This causes the display to cut out during setup.
A fix exists. Users can change their computer settings to use PCIe 4.0 instead of 5.0. This slower but stable connection lets the graphics cards run properly.
NVIDIA suggests updating computer system files before installing these cards. For those facing issues, switching to PCIe 4.0 mode in computer settings should help restore normal operation.
This news affects both standard RTX 5090 and RTX 5090 D models. The problem appears to be related to how these cards handle very fast data transfers on newer systems.
