Expert Verified By

The issue is mostly related to the RTX 5090D models for now.

Story Highlight
  • Users of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 and 5090D GPUs have reported significant issues, including their cards becoming bricked after installing the most recent drivers.
  • Colorful and Manli are the two main AIB partners involved in producing the problematic cards, but there have also been complaints from users of Gigabyte’s RTX 5090D.
  • Some users have suggested that switching from PCIe 5.0 to PCIe 4.0 might resolve the issues, although this has not been confirmed as a solution.

There are numerous cases of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090D getting bricked on Chinese sites like Chiphell, Baidu, and even the social media platform Bilibili.  

GeForce RTX 5090 and 5090D GPU users encounter several problems; some cards even got bricked with the most recent drivers.

Why it matters: The issue affects multiple brands, which could hurt user’s trust in NVIDIA and its partners.

Colorful and Manli are currently the only two AIB partners that have produced these problems. However, several complaints of the same problem with Gigabyte’s RTX 5090D have also surfaced.

According to the affected users, the issue began when the most recent drivers were installed. Another user reports that after installing the driver for his GeForce RTX 5090D (Colorful) GPU, the screen became black after he booted up his computer.

Furthermore, a customer using Manli GeForce RTX 5090D GPU posted a similar problem on Baidu Forums. After installing drivers on his computer, the OS failed to recognize his GPU.

Goofish, one of the vendors at the third-party store, claims that all NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 & RTX 5090D cards have the same problem, and there’s a good chance that the most recent drivers may cause the card to crash.

Additionally, several customers using the GeForce RTX 5090 are reporting similar problems, suggesting that this problem may not be specific to the 5090D. In the ASUS subreddit, a user with an RTX 5090 reports that neither the BIOS nor the drivers can identify the card on Windows.

Although it is not a proven solution, some people think that switching the PCIe option from 5.0 to 4.0 would resolve the problem. However, the issue might be bigger than being reported, considering only a limited number of people got their hands on the new GeForce RTX 5090.
