News Some RTX 5090s are shipping with missing ROP units, leading to less gaming performance: Report

Who knows. No point in speculating.

I'm commenting on what I see today. Today I see a paper launch and a disastrous one at that. Its a golden opportunity for AMD.

Don't hold your breath. It may be a golden opportunity for AMD to pull something they haven't pulled since the HD 5870, but given AMD's history they're probably going to just price them $100 less than nVidia as usual.

Probable.
Would be a mistake IMO but they probably will. Corporations think short term, not long term so your assessment is likely the outcome.

Skål. Our world is truly a dystopia.

Have you ever asked for it?

There's been five times I've bought used hardware and a proof of purchase has become relevant; Two PSUs, two GPUs, and a wifi router.

The router I was able to get in touch, but they couldn't find a receipt. The others either didn't respond or were a local exchange where I'd lost their phone number by the time I needed to make a claim.

I make the sale contingent when I buy something that I have such information. Usually people find the info when they know they can sell their item if they have it.

That honestly seems like the kind of thing that automated robot testing should have caught. I mean, if an auto-test can "prove" that a unit boots up and works, how much longer could it take to "ask" the control chip how many cores it "sees" as "active"? Given that it appears that various info-grab softwares can see that information anyway, not something that would require a real-world load test.

Especially shocking is that you'd think some card manufacturer would care more than the other to test the completed product, at least to the extent of automatic testing by a robot of all things.

But you know, robots require ELECTRICITY, which is sofa king expensive that the Amish are going bankrupt.

Now the claimed to be unaffected 5080 have found missing ROPs, same 8 ROP deficit, I wonder the 0.5% claim now

honestly wouldn't be shocked if NVidia tried to pull a fast one.

next gen gpus only founder editions will have the full rops advertised others may vary in smallest writing possible on the box lol.

nvidia is getting more and more like a snake oil salesman with every 5000 series

5060 will be duck taped together at this point.
