NVIDIA, a company that has historically earned a solid reputation for its user support and the stability of its drivers, is going through one of its most critical phases following the launch of the RTX 5000 series. Since January, users have reported severe issues, including black screens and unexpected crashes, which have caused dissatisfaction in the gaming community.
A launch that has not stopped failing
Despite the company releasing multiple patches to address these issues, such as version 576.15, many users continue to experience failures. The situation has forced some of them to revert to earlier driver versions, specifically 566.36, which are not compatible with the new RTX 5000 GPUs. This leaves owners of these cards with no viable options to improve the stability of their hardware.
Recently, NVIDIA introduced the RTX 5060 Ti, generating expectations about a possible improvement in performance and stability. However, some gamers are skeptical, arguing that this rapid release of new products could compromise the quality NVIDIA was once known for. With more than four patches released in recent months, the company’s reputation is under fire, especially when compared to competitors like AMD and Intel, who have shown more consistent performance regarding their drivers.
The community hopes that the situation will stabilize with the upcoming arrival of the RTX 5060, scheduled to launch in May, featuring 8 GB of GDDR7 VRAM at a starting price of 330 euros. Meanwhile, many are wondering if NVIDIA will be able to regain its status in the realm of GPU drivers or if this crisis will mark a permanent change in its relationship with users.
