Owners of NVIDIA RTX 50 graphics cards are expressing dissatisfaction with the latest Game Ready driver version 595.71, which appears to limit performance by constraining voltage.<\/p>\n
Previously, it was reported that Lenovo and Asus perhaps inadvertently included details about the yet-to-be-announced NVIDIA RTX 5070 mobile 12 GB graphics card in their laptops’ specifications. Recently, NVIDIA has also warned about a shortage of gaming graphics cards and increased prices.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, NVIDIA released the 595.71 driver intending to address issues stemming from the earlier 595.59 version, which was optimized for Resident Evil Requiem. However, after the 595.59 release, users experienced display problems with fan functioning, reduced clock speeds, and a significant drop in overall gaming performance. Although the latest driver resolved some previous issues, it introduced new challenges.<\/p>\n
Reports have emerged that similar issues are affecting owners of RTX 5090, 4090, RTX 4080 Super, and RTX 4070 Ti Super cards. YouTuber Bang4BuckPC Gamer noted that after updating the driver for his Asus TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5090 OC Edition, the voltage decreased on both standard and overclocked settings. On standard settings, the voltage was around 1.055\u20131.060 V, but when the core frequency increased by 150 MHz, the clock speed rose while the voltage dropped to 1.045\u20131.050 V.<\/p>\n
With an overclock of 300 MHz, the voltage further declined to 0.990 V, and the core clock speed remained below 3 GHz. Wccftech conducted tests on the MSI GeForce RTX 5090 SUPRIM X, showing that with the previous driver version and manual overclocking, the card operated between 1.020 V and 1.030 V with core speeds reaching up to 3.03 GHz. The new driver, however, kept the GPU under 3 GHz, with voltage falling to 1.005 V \u2013 1.010 V. Even in standard mode, the card used less voltage compared to the older driver.<\/p>\n
It seems plausible that NVIDIA intentionally imposed these limitations to address numerous reports of connector damage. The theoretical aim might be to restrict the maximum voltage flowing through the 16-pin connectors to prevent damage, albeit at the cost of performance reduction.<\/p>\n
Among other grievances related to the new driver are screen refresh rate switching, black screens, and TDR-related crashes. While NVIDIA’s release notes for driver 595.71 list fixes for fan data display issues, they do not mention the voltage reduction or increased frequency concerns.<\/p>\n
The New York Times has reported that the CIA secretly warned Apple, Nvidia, and AMD about a potential Chinese invasion of Taiwan in 2027.<\/p>\n
