A few days ago, a techpowerup media reader published a thread in his forum in which he declared that the solid RTX 5090 Zotac he had bought had a lower number of ROP that he owed, the information that He obtained by using the TechPower GPUWer Application- Z. After having carried out a large number of tests both via the BIOS and in the operating system, he did not obtain the same figure as the ROP as, At least should have.
Performance problem with some RTX 5090
An GPU ROP processes pixel data such as the softening, rendering and writing of values in the tampon of frames. The established number of ROPS of RTX 5090 Founders' edition de Nvidia is 176It is therefore the starting figure of any other model that reaches the market. However, the solid Zotac RTX 5090 has 168 Rops.
When TechPowerUP analyzed the performance of this Zotac model, they realized that it had a performance slightly lower than other models which had analyzed like the Founders Edition version of Nvidia and the Aus Rog Astral RTX 5090 OC. At that time, they did not pay attention to the number of ROPs and locked the problem in other unsuccessful factors.
Having fewer ROPS, the solid Zotac RTX 5090 has a yield of less than 5.6% compared to the Founders Edition version reaching up to 8.4% comparing it to the performance of the ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5090 OC. In titles like Elder ring With a 4K resolution and Star fieldThe Zotac model offers an average of 10 IPS less, while, in eternal fate, the difference is practically imperceptible.
Other tests that TechPowerUup has carried out with this Zotac model is Time Spy Extreme of 3dmark. The Zotac model obtains the lowest score of the 3 models analyzed with only 22,621 points, for the 25439 of the Founders edition and the 26 220 of MSI RTX 5090.
It is important to note that graphic assemblies do not have the capacity to Configure the ROPS number In no case. Techpower has contacted Zotac who, for the moment, has made no official declaration before investigating the problem.
Can you resolve?
Most likely, this is due to an error with the controller or in the graphic bios, a problem whose solution is as simple as to launch an update, as long as they are not deactivated at the material level. If this is the case, users who have one of the affected models, for the moment, it only seems to affect the Zotac RTX 5090 models, will have to be satisfied with what requires a return.
A few days ago, Zotac created a group of discord so that users interested in acquiring the RTX 5090 or the RTX 5080 can do so at official sales prices, a program that will probably be paralyzed in the coming days until Let them do it with the origin of the origin of the problem, which, hopefully, is resolved through a simple Software update. If you are one of the lucky ones who has had the chance to buy this model, you are already taking to download GPU-Z and analyze if your model has the 176 ROPS which should have at least.
