The green team indicates that this problem affects 0.5% of all the units of the RTX 5090, RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 which have been distributed on the market, so that the possibilities that we have the misfortune to be affected are very distant.
But, in the affirmative, we must contact the graphic manufacturer to send us a replacement, which cannot be denied by treating the guarantee because it is the instructions that Nvidia gave them to the assemblies.
In Hardzone, we had the opportunity to analyze 4 models in the new RTX 50 series: the NVIDIA RTX 5090 Founders Edition,, NVIDIA RTX 5080 Founders EditionTHE Asus ROG Astral RTX 5080 and the MSI RTX 5070 Ti Wind 3x. None of these models has a loss of ROPS, so we can take the percentage of possible users affected by this problem.
What are the Rops
The number of ROPS affects only the performance of video games, and not the tasks associated with artificial intelligence. The ROPS or rendering output units are a material component in charge of the rendering of the pixels indicated on the screen and must not be confused with TMU, the texture mapping units.
Being a hardware and non -software component, if the graph displays a number lower than it should, it cannot be resolved via a software update, so the only way to resolve it is to request a replacement.
How many ROPS have RTX 50 graphics
The first thing we need to know is what ROP is that our graph should have according to the model, because it is not the same for all models and that we show you below.
- RTX 5090 -> 176 ROPS / 680 TMUS
- RTX 5080 -> 112 ROPS / 336 TMUS
- RTX 5070 TI -> 96 ROPS / 280 TMUS
- RTX 5070 -> 64 ROPS / 192 TMUS
Once we are clear about the exact number of ROP that our graph must have, it is time to know the information of our model. To do this, we will use the application Gpu-z from TechPowerUP.
GPU-Z is one Free application which allows us to know all the Specifications of a GPU in addition to monitor In real time, its operation (temperature, fans speed, workload, consumption among others).
We must always download the latest version available to be compatible with the graphic model that we have and do it only from its website. Once we have installed it, the application will be executed and will display all the specifications of the graphic of our equipment.
At the top of the application, in NameThe graphic model we have been shown. If we press the search, a web page will open where we can meet a file with the same more ordered information.
The information we want to know is in the section ROPS / TMUS. As we can see in the upper image, the RTX 5090 that we analyze in Hardzone at 176 Rops, so it meets the specifications of Nvidia.
As we have commented above, if the number of ROPS in our graph is lower, we must use the warranty and request a replacement. We can also return it if the 15 days of trials have not passed.
