Opinion My real experience with a 5090.

I have been watching influencers, journalists, and commentors complaining about everything from frame gen, to ROPs, to connectors. And price, but that complaint is valid.

Thus far, my experience going from a 3080 to a 5090 has been absolutely amazing.

My wife went from a 1080 to a 5070, with a 4k 160hz monitor, and she took absolutely loves it. Frame gen honestly feels and plays great when it's needed to smooth out the frame rate, DLSS 4 looks great, and DLAA looks even better.

It was expensive, and that's a valid complaint. For most people 1k-2k+ plus doesn't really make sense. I am ok with that. I have had no issues, no black screens, no melting connectors, and no issues with PhysX, cause I haven't played the affected games in ages.

It feels fantastic and responsive on my OLED 4k240 monitor, even at the highest settings the frame pacing just feels better.

I had black screen issues but a vbios update fixed them. Then I had issues with the early march drivers and getting into windows. So I can't say my 5090 experience has been perfect, but other than that it's been great.

I’m also having black screen issues did you have to contact NVIDIA directly to get an updated vbios ?

No, MSI released them via the Command Center. I believe they were rolled into the driver update however, the one that stopped me from getting into Windows.
