Astral 5080 VBIOS - Black Screen

I recently got the new Astral 5080 Graphics Card. 

The card is beautiful and is packed with a ton of power etc. 

However, I'm running into the black screen issue right now because of the latest drivers etc. 

Nvidia stated that some cards will require a VBIOS update. 

Will we receive one soon for this product or do I need to look at other alternatives to resolve my issue? 

Appreciate all your help!

I also use Astral 5080,
I also encountered the problem of Displayport signal output,
The monitor is Dell G3223Q, 4K 144Hz,
but my normal setting is 4K/120Hz/10bit/FullRGB,
Displayport cable: FIBBR DisplayPort 2.1 (Fiber Optic Cable)
Under normal operation, the signal will be Displayport 1.4-HBR3 (8.1 Gbps *4 lane),
But as long as I change the screen refresh rate setting (to 100 or 144),
the output signal will suddenly become Displayport 1.0-HBR (2.7 Gbps *4 lane ,the current signal can be found in the screen OSD),
Then the NVIDIA control panel only has 4K 60&120Hz ycbcr color mode,
The solution at this time is to directly turn off the screen power button and then turn it on again to let the graphics card recapture the screen, then it will return to normal Displayport 1.4-HBR3,

I am sure that this problem is with Astral 5080,
because the same equipment, cables and monitor work fine when used with 3090.

I hope ASUS can update the Astral 5080 Displayport firmware.

I think the screen flickering or black screen that many people encounter is probably because the signal currently output by the graphics card does not match the signal required by the screen.
