NVIDIA Restricts RTX 50 GPU Voltages

After releasing Game Ready drivers v595.59 and v595.71 in late February–early March 2026, NVIDIA fixed fan-control and performance regressions but appears to have introduced voltage limits on RTX 50 "Blackwell" GPUs. Independent tests and a Bang4BuckPC video show RTX 5090 voltages dropping to about 1.00–1.01V with clocks falling below 3.0 GHz versus prior drivers' ~1.03V and 3+ GHz. This reduces overclocking headroom and suggests safety or power-management changes.
