Please use a certified and high-bandwidth HDMI or DisplayPort cables to be used with your high refresh rate and high resolution displays. Do not use the cables that come with the monitor or cheap uncertified cables, otherwise you will experience black screens, graphical artifacting, screen corruption, or the display not working at native resolution.

For HDMI, please ensure that your cables have the "Ultra High Speed HDMI" sticker and certification on the retail box as shown here: Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable - Bandwidth Up To 48Gbps
These cables are certified by the HDMI Consortium to support for all HDMI 2.1b features including uncompressed 8K@60 and 4K@120.

For DisplayPort, please ensure that your cables are listed in the database here: Cables & Adaptors Archives - DisplayPort
A certified DisplayPort cable shall have a DP40 or DP80 label for support for high resolution and high refresh rate displays.

Have you double checked if your cable is certified? The 5090 now uses a DP 2.1.

So, DSC shouldn't be engaged at this point, which is usually the cause of black screens

worldly otter Apr 15, 2025, 12:42 AM

#

ok

neat zephyr Apr 15, 2025, 12:42 AM

#

Probably it's the bad cables as you are reaching the HDMI/DP bandwidth

#

are the cables that come with the monitor?

worldly otter Apr 15, 2025, 12:43 AM

#

neat zephyr Apr 15, 2025, 12:43 AM

does the current 50 series not support overlay?

#

#

:U

worldly otter Apr 16, 2025, 8:36 PM

#

i have overlay on when i cant turn it on or off

#

very confused

mighty tangleBOT Apr 17, 2025, 12:20 AM

Please ensure all other third-party overlays that isn't the Xbox Game Bar (Such as Discord/Steam/Razer) have been disabled. Please check the settings app for each individual app to disable the third-party overlays.

If you are using a Non-US Keyboard Layout, the keybinds may differ and the default Alt-Z may not work. Please open the overlay manually by pressing the overlay button (next to the login & send feedback icon and go to Setting Icon > Shortcuts to reassign keybinds.

Please ensure all NVIDIA services are enabled from the Services.msc/Services program. Make sure that all NVIDIA services and frameworks (Such as NVIDIA Display Container LS/FrameView/LocalSystem Container) are enabled and running. You can right click on the service to manually start the service.

If your PC has Microsoft Windows 10 N or Windows 11 N, you will need to install the Microsoft Windows Media Feature Pack. Following the installation of Windows N Media Pack, reboot your PC and reinstall NVIDIA App.

If all else fails, please perform a reinstallation of the drivers and NVIDIA App using DDU.

Well even without using shadow it still black screens

#

i tried tweaking the pre default nvidia settings and apparently having the image scaling set from aspect ratio to no scaling helped

robust pilot Apr 17, 2025, 11:07 PM

#

Always set scaling to none and on the gpu.
