“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," an Nvidia representative told Tom's Hardware Saturday. "The average graphical performance impact is 4%, with no impact on AI and Compute workloads.”

According to TechPowerUp, consumers revealed that some of the RTX 5090 and 5070Ti graphics cards had a lower number of ROPs than claimed by Nvidia. The RTX 5090 was showcased with 176 ROPs, but instead, it had 168. This loss of 8 ROPs results in a 4% performance loss.

Users are reporting missing ROPs in their RTX 50 Series GPUs, with the latest reports highlighting that the issues also affects the GeForce RTX 5080.

Nvidia recommends a 750-watt power supply for the RTX 5070 Ti, which is only 50 watts more than for the RTX 4070 Ti and 4070 Ti Super. The 300W total graphics power is just 15 watts more than the 4070 Ti.

Nvidia's RTX 50-series makes its first foray below the $1,000 mark starting this week, with the $749 RTX 5070 Ti—at least in theory.

It’s true: Nvidia has just confirmed it shipped some RTX 5090, RTX 5090D, and even some RTX 5070 Ti graphics chips that were missing render units, as TechPowerUp originally reported — and that you’ll be able to get a replacement if your card was affected.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti packs great 4K performance not too far off the RTX 5080, but custom options like the Gigabyte Gaming OC model cost near the same.
