On Chinese forums including Chiphell, Baidu, and even the social media outlet, Bilibili, there are a bunch of reports of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090D ending up bricked. The two variants that have caused these issues are from manufacturers, Colorful and Manli. However, there are also a few reports of Gigabyte's RTX 5090D GPUs having the same issue have also popped up.
 

One of the sellers at the third-party outlet, Goofish, has stated that all NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 & RTX 5090D GPUs are affected by the same issue and there's a high probability that the latest drivers will crash the card and make it unrecognizable by the system. There are also small chances of the GPU glitching out and a few cases of IC burns have also been reported.
 

Also, it looks like this issue might not be limited to the 5090D as some users with the GeForce RTX 5090 are also facing similar issues. Over on the r/ASUS subreddit, a user running the RTX 5090 is unable to detect the card on Windows, neither by the drivers nor by the BIOS. The user tried to clear CMOS, but that didn't work either.

Every major release seems to have teething issues, but... This has got to sting a bit more with $2k+ unobtanium.
-Even if you could afford to replace it, you flat out can't (for most).
