[Admin]

Some GeForce RTX 5080 graphics cards miss eight ROPs, according to a Reddit post.

Lets see here: Black screens, BSODs, DOA/Bricked GPUs, faulty drivers, PCIe 5.0 issues, fake MSRP prices for fake frames, 4 month shipping ETA's, melting connectors, exploding power stages, missing ROPS. Talk about a botched launch, holy crap. These 50 series owners just cant catch a break. Welp, I won't be letting go of my 4080S any time soon. At this rate, this dumpster fire will continue all the way up until the 60 series.

You forgot scalpers

I fully intend to stick with AMD.

It wouldn't be hard for AMD to do better!

don't say that, you're gonna jinx it...

This is what happens when you turn your back on an entire segment of your customer base. AI has become so important to nVidia that they have not really put any effort or resources into the consumer graphics cards. Little design and apparently no testing and validation.

The only real gains in the 50 series cards has been derivatives of gains they made on the AI side of things. My RTX 4090 is going to have to keep my machine running for the next 8 years it looks like at this rate.

Although the AMD cards indicate they are gaining some power in Rasterization and Ray Tracing... Maybe they can turn things around in the next 4 to 5 years and start competing at the high end...

And there it is! I knew something was up when they said the 5080s weren't affected. It made no sense why they wouldn't be. Jeeez

P.S. Also, "Lackwell" has got to be the greatest pun of our generation LOL.

What's 8 ROPs eh? It's close enough.

 

[Zerk2012]

OK lets see.
Nvidia has confirmed that 0.5% of GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5090, and RTX 5090D graphics cards carry graphics processors with several ROPs disabled,

I wonder if that is a real number and if it is then they know how many they shipped so 100% on them.
On the other hand they could know 20% was shipped and figure the average person will never know even if they get exposed as they have been busted already so they figure 0.5%

 

[Jabberwocky79]

I wonder if that is a real number and if it is then they know how many they shipped so 100% on them.

I wonder indeed. Their whole response just smacks of "don't care." They're like 'Sure, it affected half a percent of people, but it doesn't affect the performance of the stuff that no one actually bought these cards for anyway! What's the big deal?'

GamersNexus has put out a bounty to acquire some of these defective units so they can test them.

Lets see here: Black screens, BSODs, DOA/Bricked GPUs, faulty drivers, PCIe 5.0 issues, fake MSRP prices for fake frames, 4 month shipping ETA's, melting connectors, exploding power stages, missing ROPS. Talk about a botched launch, holy crap. These 50 series owners just cant catch a break. Welp, I won't be letting go of my 4080S any time soon. At this rate, this dumpster fire will continue all the way up until the 60 series.

Why do you think Toms only gave it 4 out of 5 stars?

You forgot fires due to their connectors.

🤣
Okay but in all honesty, the review was posted before some of these issues came to light. And, IMO, they should be taken into account and the reviews revised.

On both points here, 100%! This is almost word for word what I would've posted.

5090L, 5080L, I like it.

Wow! This NVIDIA GPU release is just the gift that keeps on giving! /s

I have now added the following to my NVIDIA bingo card (just in case) -
NVIDIA RTX 4090 and 4080 users find lower than advertised ROPs on their cards!

Seriously though, NVIDIA doersn't seem to give two 💩 about the gaming segment anymore.

 

[Heat_Fan89]

Nvidia's RTX 5000 series. The gift that keeps on giving. 💩

 

[alceryes]

For those needing help falling asleep at night, here is the NVIDIA Blackwell series GPU whitepaper. The ROPs are listed in Appendix A -

So true, now even I cannot find an excuse to buy any of those at current scalper price, I am kind of longing for "WHATS NEXT?"

It's more entertaining just following the reddit group and tech news just for the next popcorn and beer moment

I'd like to say that AMD can use NVIDIA's dumpster-fire GPU launch to their advantage and really have a 1080 Ti moment with the release of the upcoming 9070 XT, but AMD has been able to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory on so many past occasions that I am currently just cautiously optimistic.

100% this.

I was pretty much determined to get a 5080 eventually, but after problems and price hikes, I'm questioning reality. I feel like there is no such thing as a "good" option ATM.

Hindsight is 20/20, even for big companies, but if AMD had announced a 5080 competitor near the same price point, it would be a no-brainer for me.

Some of the latest leaks show performance near/at the RTX 5080 in certain instances.
Keep the hope alive!

AMDs numbers look suspicious to me. But then the 1st party numbers never look right. Avg FPS, pick and choose, changing the settings, etc to make each title look as good as possible in comparison. Have to wait for 3rd party testing, but everyone won't wait, and they will be sold out.

I think the big change is going to be not necessarily needing an Nvidia card for decent ray-tracing performance. Which will certainly level the playing field.

Another leak is that the review embargo will lift the day before the card goes on sale.
So, hopefully I get to at least see some of my favorite cynic's [err, um] reviewer's take on the card before I pull the trigger. Looking to pick one up for my nephew's rig.
