Some RTX 5090 may have missing chips and less performance

The launch of the RTX 5090 has been glorious due to the high performance of the plate, the flawed components of the GPU chip. Information from various users, websites and informants The plate has a smaller amount of mashed than it should be.

Initially, users Techpowerup The RTX 5090 models of Zotac have only 168 qualified ROPs, while the default plate chip is 176. Techpowerup I had a brand model for the test and I confirmed this situation.

The fact that these eight buildings are not on the video card results in a decrease of 4 to 5% against NVIDIA’s own founders version. In relation to other common models such as RTX 5090 Asus Rog Astral, the difference in the Zotac version is over 8%.

Although it is not known very well, ROPS (Raster Operations Pipe Line) are structures responsible for data in the pixel design and anti -anti -anti -anti -anti -antiquity.

The problem can affect a small RTX 5090

However, the situation may worse as it seems like an isolated problem. Plate users of brands such as MSI, Manli and Gigabyte also noticed the lack of some legs in their chips.show that there is almost a common problem. NO X (Old Twitter), Website Computer Zotac model used in the tests is not a ROP problem, he said.

This Friday (21) pointed out that Megasizegpu informant is directly related to defective chips. According to him, a small party of the RTX 5090 GB202 chip is flawed and there is no way to solve the situation with bio corrections.

The root causes are chip. GB202’s small party is defective and BIOS cannot do anything with this problem.

Yet Categorically confirming that some GB202 is missing relatively earlyAlthough informant has a lot of reliability in the sector. If this is confirmed, there will be no total failure, but it will disappoint many consumers – no one wants to pay $ 2,000 or $ 20,000 in a missing product.

On the other hand, since the company sends chips to external manufacturers, it is a problem for NVIDIA, who is only responsible for establishing the personalized GPU project. In any case, It is surprising how Nvidia and other giant brands do not notice this error..

These companies are expected to overcome the problem with some updates to activate these inactive ROPs.
