Nvidia RTX 5080

Some GeForce RTX 5080 graphics cards miss eight ROPs, according to a Reddit post.

AMD compared its upcoming Radeon RX 9070 XT with Radeon RX 7900 GRE in presentation, discovers that the new flagship is massively faster than the previous-generation performance mainstream contender.

Defective RTX 5070 Ti with eight missing ROPs sees an up-to 10% drop in performance, depending on the scenario.

As Nvidia has dropped support for PhysX in legacy games on its RTX 50 GPUs, a Redditor has bought a separate RTX 3050 as a dedicated PhysX card.

Nvidia says that a few RTX 5090 / 5090D and RTX 5070 Ti GPUs shipped with defective ROPs, telling affected users to contact the manufacturer for a replacement.

Staff members don't know if the fix will come through a driver update or a VBIOS update.

Reports suggest that some RTX 5090s have 5% fewer ROPs than design specifications, resulting in a noticeable performance drop.

All RTX 50 GPUs have been sold out at a major UK retailer, and supply constraints could keep you waiting for the RTX 5070 Ti until early April.

Select Nvidia customers in the U.S. can get GeForce RTX 5080 FE and GeForce RTX 5090 FE graphics cards directly from Nvidia with Verified Priority Access program.
