Maybe they used AI to write the driver code
This have nothing to do with 5xxx series but with AIB that used bad designed coolers, all test I seen in guru3d none had this issue....Igor's Lab says 50 series cards have hotspot issues.
Local hotspots on RTX-5000 cards: When board layout and cooling design don’t work together and a pad mod has to help | igor´sLAB

"Recently, several current graphics card models in the RTX 5000 series, including the RTX 5080, 5070 (Ti) and 5060 Ti in particular, have shown thermal anomalies in the area of local hotspots on the back of the board in my tests. These affect cards from major board partners such as Palit, PNY and MSI as well as variants from other manufacturers, which (have to) largely adhere to the reference design specified by NVIDIA. The thermal load does not manifest itself as a systemic temperature problem of the GPU cores themselves, but in the form of pronounced heat nests below the power supply – often in areas that are hardly cooled or mechanically connected at all when viewed from the rear."
I'm still on 572.70 with my 4070. I haven't had any problems, but when I heard of all the problems I stopped updating. I'll just wait for this to blow over.
That's the fundamental problem - these are not really drivers, they are fixes/perf dealing with lazy devs who can't optimize. Drivers should have just followed the spec (with best perf) and that's it, instead lots of game companies now rely on "day one drivers" to deal with their rubbish code. As the result frequent driver releases and less dev time to actually improve driver itself. I blame Nvidia for starting this.-Yeah, NV or AMD, never update to a newer driver unless the current stable one is missing game specific fixes/performance updates that are relevant to you.
Maybe, just maybe, this was used as a competitive advantage by Nvidia. Pre-AI, engineering assets were abundant and quick, accurate responses were assured. Now, it begins to have negative consequences, as resources have been diverted and have become scarce relative to demand.That's the fundamental problem - these are not really drivers, they are fixes/perf dealing with lazy devs who can't optimize.

Game Ready Drivers - yes, theydunit.Maybe, just maybe, this was used as a competitive advantage by Nvidia.
Ya I ordered mine and the next morning they that article came out saying it was a problem *sigh*
Enjoy some nice warm gel-y, Gigabyte card owning folks!
That has been fixed in 576.15 hotfix driver and it will certainly be fixed in next driver release.576.02 is causing issues for one of my F@H rigs. Temp reading is inconsistent and will say it is 36C when clearly not (F@H) and causing fans to go at 100% on any load. It's a Gigabyte card and none of the other RTX 5070s (PNY and MSI) are doing it.
Hopefully the next major driver update fixes it. Had intermittent black screen issues on my other rig as well.
For me the .15 driver is worseThat has been fixed in 576.15 hotfix driver and it will certainly be fixed in next driver release.
Pretty sure the issue was dying 2 times😅😅NGL I used that 4090 for over 2 years I think and never had a single issue other than having to RMA the card twice for dying. I'm tempted to put it back in.
Nvidia getting super variants ready to go so soon? Via Chip Hell forums originally according to this link below:
Maybe I'm missing something, but the only thing super about these cards is more VRAM due to higher capacity modules, but they're still GDDR7. Perhaps they can push the power up and get clocks higher on core and/or memory, but that's a pretty limited gain. Maybe they'll cut prices like they did with the 4080 super, i.e. not much performance upgrade, but $200 off of the 4080's price.Soon, probably not. End of year maybe.
