**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

I got the black screen after installing the new drivers - though turning the monitor on and off gets the signal back. Same happened after my usual new-drivers reboot. I haven't been able to reproduce it since then, but something is still not right in these drivers.

No black screen issues during actual use (though I didn't have on the previous drivers either). Running on a Palit Gamerock 5090.

Wasn’t the latest ones meant to fix that.

What version did you install 572.83?

Installed over the previous ones - again black screen requiring few hard reboots to fix. Then it crashed compiling shaders I'm hlf2 rtx (didn't happen on them previous release). RT still crashing in Riftbreaker. Generally, to me, just as broken (if not more) as previous one. Maybe even they move to the next build it will be fine again - currently it's still a mess.

No - just on installing the drivers and on reboot.It's done it twice now after reboots, so considering going back to the previous version. It's not actually harmful - just turn the monitor off and on again to fix it - but it is annoying.

can see why its annoying very strange
 
Yep, 572.83. It very much does not fix it. I had the same problem when I installed the previous game-ready drivers when my 5090 arrived on Saturday - though again, turning the monitor off and on again got the signal back.

I use an lg oled, will try that next time, ive been powering the pc off and on to fix the issue.

I've had to back off slightly on my overclock since installing this new driver as I got a couple of crashes. It's completely possible this is just coincidence and my overclock wasn't 100%.
 
I swear my 5080 is clocking higher on this new driver. I'm pretty sure it wasn't going past 3200Mhz before but it is consistently now.
Same here, I had my 5080 overclocked to the max at +475Mhz / +2000Mhz and it was running perfectly fine before this driver update.

I've had to back it down to +400Mhz / +2000Mhz to get it running stable again.

Almost word-for-word the same here. Benchmarks like Superposition seem the same at around 3080Mhz but heavy raytracing games were boosting into 3250Mhz and eventually crashing. I wonder if Nvidia tweaked the stock curves.
