Several Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs lack ROPS, suggesting that the GB202 and GB203 chips used on these cards are defective. This will create many graphics cards from various manufacturers, including ZOTAC, MSI, Gigabyte and even Nvidia’s Founders Edition GPU, with eight less ROP than specified. The company states Tom’s hardware, which only affects a small portion of the GPU.
“We have identified rare issues affecting less than 0.5% (half) of GEFORCE RTX 5090/5090D and 5070 TI GPUs. Nvidia representative told Tom’s hardware that impacts AI and computing workloads Without giving, the average graphical performance impact is 4%, and workload is calculated. “Affected consumers can contact the board manufacturer for exchange. Production abnormalities have been fixed .”
Therefore, this problem was actually caused by production and quality control issues, allowing some defective GB202 and GB203 chips to pass inspection and be installed on the GPU. But it’s good that the issue was arrested early as Nvidia said even the RTX 5070 Ti GPU released a few days ago was affected. Consumers who purchase the affected cards will not get the expected performance.
Team Green said people affected by missing ROP should contact board makers and contact RMA to a less-performing GPU. Hopefully, despite the ongoing shortage of the RTX 50 series, you won’t have to wait long to get a proper replacement. A small number of retailers expect supply to stabilize in four months.
This is one of the many issues that plague the RTX 50 series as the RTX 50 series was highly anticipated. A major concern returning from the RTX 4090 is the issue of melting cables, claiming the company had previously locked it in place. Several RTX 50 series GPUs have also experienced crashes and instability, bringing BSOD and black screens. Nvidia said it has already investigated the issue but has not yet released a timeline for fixes.
Many gamers and enthusiasts are as disappointed as expected by this launch. Many say that performance improvements do not coincide with rising prices. All of these issues take less than a month from release, so Nvidia is trying to fix them.
