Well, an entry-level RTX 50-series card is now with us in the form of the RTX 5060 Ti, as are tons of 'out of stock' signs (in the US, at least—the UK seems to be faring a little better). If we're looking for consolation, Nvidia has also put out a GeForce Game Ready driver to go along with this GPU release, and the fix list is loooonger than I've seen in a long time, perhaps ever.
The release notes (PDF) for the new Nvidia driver (version 576.02) list 25 "Fixed General Bugs" and 15 "Fixed Gaming Bugs" (and yes, I did count those line by line). Crucially, these general fixes include ones for various black and blank screen issues.
