STFU and get in the queue.He’s edited his post to add a summary if you haven’t seen, but PC Centric is ok / harmless … not sure what he’s done to deserve such ire! If you don’t like his style then fair enough, avoid

Users report bricked or unstable RTX 5090 and 5080 cards — root cause to be determined
Drivers, BIOS, PCIe 5.0; what's to blame? Hopefully, these are just isolated new product teething troubles.

Echo chamber like viewership but gets all the review cards for free and I am an grumpy old azz.
That's pretty much applicable to all techtubers who reviewed RTX 5000 series past two weeks imo. BTW, they have confirmed the sample cards have to be sent back based on contractual agreement.Echo chamber like viewership but gets all the review cards for free and I am an grumpy old azz.
Yeah, I've had a chance to play marvel rivals, ow2, destiny 2 at 120fps+ and going through Furmark, Heaven and Timespy. Just reran a timespy to make sure I wasn't going crazy and yeah can confirm, coil whine is not audible much. It's still there if I try listen for it, like a hissing sound, but not distracting and certainly not 'screeching'

TechRadar is reporting that one 5090 that has been effectively bricked by possibly having an IC chip burnt out, has been sent back to Nvidia who are investigating.

Nvidia RTX 5090 seemingly has a spanner thrown in the works by new graphics driver, but we should be very careful around reports of ‘bricked’ GPUs
Some RTX 5090 owners are reporting that their GPUs are no longer being recognized, but there’s a possible fix

Lulz did you see mrwhotheboss. He didn;t even go into the technical side. He is more of a phone guy and he got tons of views. And I am pretty sure Nvidia if they get featured on his channels will more than give him the card for free for exposure on his channel. The only thing which has more 5090 exposure is Hostile18 5090 on the bay and the Graphics card sub forum...
Still too early? Dammit, looks like I will get my coat again...
I am starting to worry man, getting a GPU after... weeks? Months? Just to have it fried for some driver update? I can't believe that Nvidia with funds worth billions $ for these projects, would not ensure that their product got safety limits not to fry itself...TechRadar is reporting that one 5090 that has been effectively bricked by possibly having an IC chip burnt out, has been sent back to Nvidia who are investigating.

If it's a driver issue, then having to wait a couple of weeks/months might turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Nvidia will get a new driver out there, or mobo BIOS updates will become available or whatever other fixes are needed will be available.
The 4090 had its melty cable and some 3090 models had dodgy capacitors going pop shortly after launch. I haven't *so far* seen anything to suggest that the 5090 problems are more widespread than that.

It's a difficult one for 50 series users right now as there is no other driver available, I have a 5080 on pre-order (Due end March) for my son's PC build. If I had a 5090/5080 now I would remove it from the PC and use an alternative until a fix is available - Better Save than Sorry.

This is a regurgitation of previous known issues (Namely PCI-E 5.0 compatability) and a spurious report of a single card having a hardware failure.
I dont see anything regarding DRIVER SPECIFIC issues?
Irresponsible reporting, clickbait and people reposting with comments like "Drivers are bricking cards" just causes a tsunami of panic and misinformation.

So 1 report of a failure with no cause found and already Jay 2 scents is making sensationalist videos using the plural 5090s, and blaming drivers for no good reason.

I can't see how they can, not unless if the driver updates the GPU firmware

I remember the Intel i9-14/13 series CPU failure that initiated the same comments that you complain about, but it eventually led to the truth of serious damage to these CPU's and Intel issuing significant revisions to micro code deal with the issue.

der8auer asked some board partners how long they had between building the PCB and the launch day and they answered between 2 days and almost 2 weeks and commented how could they possibly do any proper reliability testing? Nvidia tossing away goodwill right left and centre and none of it matters because everyone will buy the cards regardless, the buyers are the QCTechRadar is reporting that one 5090 that has been effectively bricked by possibly having an IC chip burnt out, has been sent back to Nvidia who are investigating.

I'm not saying dont make comments. I'm saying dont make things up. I've seen nothing yet which specifically talks to a driver causing hardware failures yet the forum is full of posts saying exactly that.
