Missing ROPs in NVIDIA's Blackwell GPUs and leaked RTX 5070 performance metrics aren't sitting well with NVIDIA faithful. Here's what you need to know.

It's official—following the first user report of a GeForce RTX 5080 to display missing ROPs in the popular GPU-Z utility, NVIDIA has confirmed that it too is affected by a rare 'production anomaly'

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, vs the expected specification. The company advises owners of any 'Lackwell' cards to return their boards to manufacturers to have them replaced.
