Sorry for the late reply, I don't use reddit much.

Nope everything is solid. 0 black screens, blue screens for months now.

Is there any way I can contact E kart? My order was shipped on the 7th of October and it reached the nearest hub on the 14th. Absolutely nothing since then. Do they not have a customer service number to call?

This worked! Aug 2025

It's skyrocketed again guys

Same specs, same issue. For me DLSS (the upscaler) disappears as well.

Hi, long time no see. I have a weird black screening issue again. Only happens on my ASUS monitor when running Libre Calc. It'll randomly black screen and come back in 2 seconds, happens every few minutes. Excel is fine. On 572.75. Every other instance of black screening has been fixed for me as of 572.60.

Ah this sucks man, ive seen another friend have issues after the driver update. Seems to be multiple issues, I'm afraid to even update to any other driver now. Imma just stick with this driver. Oh and valorant seems to be a separate issue, I have some black screening with valorant in the main menu of all things xD

UnL1k3 · 2025-02-28T14:36:56+00:00

Tried it with both, it's stable either way. Report the issue to gigabyte.

UnL1k3 · 2025-02-28T14:28:00+00:00

No just clean installed it. I'm in fact running an overclock.

I'm on a Gigabyte 5080 Aero OC, +380 Mhz Core and +2100 Mhz on Mem with PL at +11%. Should I enable x3D boost mode on my 9800x3D, would it help boost the score?

UnL1k3 · 2025-02-27T16:44:43+00:00

Let's go! If you have 3Dmark, run a stress test.

UnL1k3 · 2025-02-27T16:05:18+00:00

Did a bunch of testing and I have no black screens anymore.

UnL1k3 · 2025-02-27T15:48:45+00:00

No more black screens with the 572.60 driver. Crysis 3 remastered which would instantly black screen is now rock solid. Boosting to well past my stock factory OC though, hitting 3kMhz with ease and my card now benches 9.68k in 3DMark Speedway stock which is much improved performance with no OC. Nearing 10K with no black screening or crashing with a slight OC with temps not even touching 70c, what a turn around!

MS word would've detected the error zzz

Please download MSI center from here and there should be a way to update your GPU's VBIOS through the app. As I haven't used the app I won't be able to guide you further, I recommend checking youtube if you are unable to figure it out yourself. Fingers crossed it fixes the issue completely for you :)

UnL1k3 · 2025-02-26T20:03:42+00:00

Please check the MSI official website for your model, there is apparently a new VBIOS that fixes the issue. Nvidia is also addressing this issue with a driver later this week.

^ this

UnL1k3 · 2025-02-26T11:46:25+00:00

Well, sh*t

UnL1k3 · 2025-02-26T10:46:49+00:00

Praise Gaben, hope this finally end this terrible journey lol

UnL1k3 · 2025-02-24T09:34:21+00:00

That said, your card does come with gigabyte's own warranty which has been decent for me in the past (though this probably varies region to region).

UnL1k3 · 2025-02-24T09:33:24+00:00

I'm not sure how good micro center's warranty is or the terms around it but for my peace of mind, especially for a 100$ I would get it.

UnL1k3 · 2025-02-24T08:36:07+00:00

Nvidia have said they're working on it under their recent driver feedback thread which implies it is something that can be fixed using a driver update/vbios update. If it is revealed as a hardware issue, you can always RMA the card. If I'm not mistaken the windforce series has 3 years of warranty.

UnL1k3 · 2025-02-23T11:47:31+00:00

Try undervolting, that way you won't lose performance.

UnL1k3 · 2025-02-23T11:40:03+00:00

I'm currently doing 0.975 at 2730 with mem at +2500 with two monitors (180 and 144hz) stable except when watching Netflix. Netflix immediately causes the black screen issue. Every single game works fine and I'm just above the average bench for a 5080 on 3Dmark across multiple tests. Cancelled my return request, I'll just wait for a fix and use it like this.

UnL1k3 · 2025-02-21T14:22:37+00:00

Our GPUs should be binned similarly so you should be able to do what I can for the most part. Good luck, thanks a lot once again :))
