The beginning of 2025 has not been favorable for NVIDIA, especially in the consumer sector. The RTX 50 series, which promised outstanding performance, is facing multiple technical issues. From significant limitations in the ROPS that affect its performance, to reported failures such as black screens and burnt connectors, the situation has led many to consider the launch of this series as one of the most discouraging for the company.
Nvidia keeps having issues
Despite the high prices compared to previous generations, the demand for RTX 50 graphics cards has encountered an additional obstacle: the lack of stock. This is compounded by the complications that have arisen in the RTX 30 and RTX 40 series, which are also affected by the software. The 572.xx drivers have caused crashes and performance issues, spreading among an increasing number of users who are demanding solutions.
Trendy reports from video game developers suggest that the latest versions of NVIDIA drivers are unreliable. In game notes for titles like inZoi and The First Berserker: Khazan, it is recommended to revert to previous versions, specifically to 572.83 for RTX 50 users and 566.36 for those with RTX 30 and RTX 40. This has led experts to advise the use of the DDU application to completely uninstall the problematic drivers before reverting to more stable versions.
In summary, while NVIDIA struggles to tackle the challenge of persistent technical issues with its new graphics cards, the market continues to deal with a usual shortage of products. The situation raises questions about how the launch of the RTX 50 will be remembered in the coming years, in a context where consumer confidence may be at risk.
