I heard about this. Not a great look for Nvidia of course. I suppose people should have expected software issues for a software release.
They'll fix it eventually I imagine. A hotfix driver 572.24 has been released recently, solves some of the issues.

I hope board partners/Nvidia are replacing bricked units, no questions asked.

That could still be attributed to a poor design choice, and user error to an extent. But not this, straight up bricking the cards for installing the FIRST driver available to it.

So is it only a driver issue or driver + something else ? Is that known ? Either way I imagine they'll replace the cards and roll out fixes for the issue eventually.

Apparently, the educated guess is poor quality control of the PCB, itself. Once official drivers are installed, the card starts functioning in 3D mode, increasing power + strain vs 2D mode, when only the basic Windows display drivers are installed. This is just rumored.
 
Apparently even MD Computers are saying that price of RTX 5090 Rs.2,54,000 + 18% GST + 3% Transaction fee =Rs.3,08,711 while fb sellers are quoting Rs.3,50,000 to 3,65,000 depending on the model.

Apparently the OP in this reddit thread was saying that 2 days ago fb sellers were quoting Rs.3,95,000 but now decreased some 30-40k in 2 days and was telling others to wait more days for the price to fall.
