RTX 5080 suffers from the same problem as missing Rops as RTX 5090 and 5070 Ti

NVIDIA faces new challenges with its RTX 50 graphics line line. After reports of rendering units (ROPs) missing the RTX 5090 and RTX 5070 IT models, similar cases involving RTX 5080 appear.

Users reported that their RTX 5080 have only 104 ROPS activated, instead of the 112 specifiedwhich can impact graphic performance.

Reports of absent rops on RTX 5080

Recently, a Reddit user shared that his RTX 5080 displayed 104 ROPs no software GPU-Zbelow 112 expected. This problem is similar to that observed in some units of the RTX 5090 e Rtx 5070 of thewhere the absence of Rops resulted in reduced performance.

Nvidia had already confirmed that approximately 0.5% of RTX 5090 and 5070 Ti were affected by this manufacturing defect, leading to a Average reduction of 4% in graphic performance.

NVIDIA’S ANSWER

The presence of Rops in fewer can directly affect GPU rendering capacityresulting in lower frame rates and lower efficiency in intensive graphic tasks.

But despite the confirmation that the problem affected the previous models, Nvidia has not yet commented on RTX 5080. However, recent data indicate that the failure may be broader than initially disclosed.

We have identified a rare problem that affects less than 0.5% of GPUS GeForce RTX 5090 / 5090D and 5070 IT, which have a ROP less than specified. The average impact on graphic performance is 4%, with no impact on AI and computing workloads. Affected consumers can contact the replacement plate manufacturer. The production anomaly was corrected

How to identify and proceed in case of affected GPUS

Users who suspect their GPUS may be affected must use tools like GPU-Z to check the number of active rops.

For RTX 5080, the correct number is 112 ROPs. If an inferior number is identified, It is recommended to contact the board manufacturer to request a replacement.

Nvidia said the production anomaly has already been correctedand affected units can be replaced.

Precedent

As we have reported, this is not the first incident involving absent ROPs in the GPUs of the RTX 50 series. Previously, cases of RTX 5070 Ti delivering up to 11% less performance Due to missing Rops.

In addition, a unit of RTX 5090 was also found with absent ropsimpairing performance in up to 4.5% in synthetic tests.

Therefore, the incidents raise concerns about Nvidia’s quality control and transparency with consumers, as The problem has already been identified in three different models of the RTX 50 series. If you purchase one of these models, we recommend taking the test with GPU-Z to confirm and, if necessary, make the replacement.
