News Nvidia RTX 5080 suffers from similar missing ROP defect as 5090 and 5070 Ti: Report

[tamalero]

I'm currently on a 7900GRE, its the first AMD card i got since the GTX970 (I've had several nvidia cards since then), and i don't know what driver issues you're complaining about. whatever issues amd has with drivers is long dead and over.

That said it's not like amd is perfect, their FSR is awful, but then so is NVIDIA DLSS, it's just dlss is less awful. that doesn't mean i'd ever play with either feature enabled.

as for raytracing, call me when more then 3 games use it in a way i can notice it. the current list of games in which ray tracing is obvious when turned on are Forza, Cyberpunk (especially modded), and Wuthering Waves. while the number of games which boast ray tracing is significantly more, most have such small implementation they fact of the mater is you'll never notice it.

nvidia has disabled physx on the 5000 series. so the main advantage to cuda cores is basically gone.

Didn´t they just disable the 32 bit, aka older versions of PhysX and the 64 bit versions, aka any modern game.. still runs?

I wonder where the primary failure is here. Tsmc, Nvidia, or third party? Seems like it would mostly be a tsmc thing first then everyone down the line missed it or passed it off. Will be interesting to see who missed what checks on this.

If you followed the news, it was reported back when the Blackwell was shipping for datacenter.
I remember they said a large batch ended with defects. Now I wonder if the 5000 series were literally where the defective chips went.

I mean, it is obvious that Nvidia does not care about the gaming segment other than it being a token win.
