If you have just purchased an RTX 50 series card and are experiencing an empty screen on the system reboot, NVIDIA has pushed one forward. GPU UEFI Firmware Update Tool This problem should be resolved. And while the company promotes it only for RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 TI cards, it seems that it is allegedly compatible with other RTX 50 series GPU. Although I will refrain from updating unless you have an empty screen problem.
nvidia Says: “To ensure compatibility with some motherboards, NVIDIA GPU firmware may be required to be updated. Without updates, Jeffers RTX 5060 Series Cards (5060 TI and RTX 5060) Some Mother Boards in Legacy should be tested again on the boot screens.
Although NVIDIA only talks about RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 TI, NVIDIA Support Representative Told a forum user That it should support all RTX 50 series cards and it is “for all shopkeepers”. The NVIDIA representative also says “it is better to update it” not to update. The forum user says he used it on his RTX 5080 and there is no problem so far.
The Nvidia Support Agent has explained that the refreshment of this firmware should not improve normal stability, performance or thermals, as it is designed to solve blackscreen issues only due to some matters of Mother Board compatibility. Obviously, to the extent that it solves these problems will improve stability (not having a black screen on the reboot looks like a improvement in stability), but it seems that the firmware refreshing is the only real benefit.
Given this, and by saying that updating the firmware is “better”, I will not personally bother to install it unless I face problems. Firmware updates are roaming the lowest level, unless you get out of the screwdriver, and take a risk if something is wrong. There is no use for people who do not face blackscreen problems, I will pass it unless it is needed.
I need to say that it is not surprising that it is RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 TI, which NVIDIA says is facing these problems – well, the former is not surprising. Navidia did not even have the right driver for us in the PC gamer, nor for launch day, nor for many other reviewers. (It was a pleasure to deal with our hardware commander Dave.)
Saying, the high-end RTX 50-series GPUs are not safe from issues that are resolving by driver’s updates. And not only stable, but also performance. NVIDIA’s recent driver update that gives some RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 laptop GPUs performance in mind.
At the end of the day, it is up to each individual whether they decide to install the firmware update for this additional motherboard. If you are receiving RTX 5060 or RTX 5060 TI- or high-end RTX 50-Series card with black screens on reboot, I think-I don’t doubt the answer will be ‘yes’.
