Nvidia confirms RTX 50 Collection “manufacturing anomaly has been corrected”

The launch of Nvidia’s RTX 50 sequence of graphics playing cards has not precisely gone easily. Amidst issues over melting connectors and resellers driving sky-high costs, Nvidia now faces points surrounding a producing situation that has seen various GPUS (0.5%) affected by lacking ROPs. Nvidia hopes that that is only a teething downside, and has introduced that the basis situation has been resolved. 

Some high-end graphics playing cards from Nvidia’s newly launched RTX 50 ‘Blackwell’ sequence have been apparently delivery to customers with out the complete complement of ROPs. Nvidia stated that solely a really small variety of shipped items have been affected by this downside, and went on to substantiate that the basis trigger had been recognized and resolved.

“The common graphical efficiency influence is 4%, with no influence on AI and Compute workloads. Affected customers can contact the board producer for a alternative. The manufacturing anomaly has been corrected.”

Nvidia’s ROP manufacturing situation is now resolved

ROPs, or Raster Operation Pipelines, are additionally typically referred to as Render Output Pipelines or Render Output Partitions. They’re a part of the graphics card that hundreds data into VRAM and handles particular operations similar to some kinds of antialiasing.

An RTX 5090 GPU ought to come geared up with a complete of 176 ROPs, whereas a 5080 could have 112 and a 5070 Ti could have 96. A problem cropped up amongst a small phase of customers the place their playing cards weren’t exhibiting the proper complement of ROPs. For instance, on RTX 5090 homeowners have been solely getting 168 ROPs exhibiting. Nvidia’s figures recommend that solely 0.5% of playing cards have been affected by this downside.

In keeping with Nvidia, with the manufacturing situation now resolved, any graphics playing cards shipped to clients after this level mustn’t endure this situation. Customers unfortunate sufficient to be affected by the issue can request a alternative and anticipate a completely purposeful card in return.

Up to now, the RTX 5090, 5080, and 5070 Ti have been reported to be affected. Prospects who’re involved they may be affected can use the GPU-Z device from TechPowerUp to test. This device will straight ballot the {hardware} to supply a transparent image of in case your card is affected.
