NVIDIA's Response Below:
Nvidia GeForce global PR director Ben Berraondo tells The Verge:
We have identified a rare issue affecting less than 0.5% (half a percent) of GeForce RTX 5090 / 5090D and 5070 Ti GPUs which have one fewer ROP than specified. The average graphical performance impact is 4%, with no impact on AI and Compute workloads. Affected consumers can contact the board manufacturer for a replacement. The production anomaly has been corrected.
-------------------
Quick Clarification from me:
In the response above, NVIDIA mentioned "one fewer ROP". In this case, they are referring to the Raster Operation partition. One (1) Raster Operation partition contains the eight (8) missing ROP units.
Also, if you want to check your 50 Series cards with GPU-Z, below is the correct ROPs amounts from Blackwell whitepaper:
- RTX 5090 = 176 ROPs (Affected units have 168 ROPs)
- RTX 5080 = 112 ROPs (Affected units have 104 ROPs)
- RTX 5070 Ti = 96 ROPs (Affected units have 88 ROPs)
We have also seen someone with 8 missing ROPs on his RTX 5080 as well. While the statement from NVIDIA did not mention RTX 5080, if you do have the same issue with any of the 50 Series cards, the path forward is the same and it is to contact board manufacturers and RMA the card
