Users report bricked or unstable RTX 5090 and 5080 cards — root cause to be determined

Summary

Nutrition label

70% Informative

Nvidia has yet to comment on this matter and thus it is difficult to deduce whether these teething problems stem from incomplete software, broken hardware, or something else.
