UPDATE: Just a few days after the initial coverage by Wccftech, PCGamer reached out to NVIDIA for some answers. In response, NVIDIA said it's "investigating the reported issues with the RTX 50-series."
It's never easy to pinpoint an issue like this, especially with hardware that's so new on the market. It gets worse when there are so many conflicting claims popping up from those who already have the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 in their hands. Some users have been able to fix the issue on their own, while others are left with no video output and hardware that's unrecognized by Windows.
