Nvidia Confirms Existence of Defective GeForce RTX 5090 and GeForce RTX 5070 Ti on Defective Chips

Nvidia has confirmed the issue with missing ROPs. The company noted that the problem affects not only the flagship GeForce RTX 5090 and GeForce RTX 5090D, but also the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti. Interestingly, users have not yet complained about the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti with missing ROPs. Earlier, it was reported that some owners of GeForce RTX 5090/RTX 5090D graphics cards from Zotac, MSI, Gigabyte and Manli complained that their accelerators' GPUs lack rasterization units. Instead of the required 176 ROPs, their cards have only 168 of these units. Since ROPs are one of the key components of a graphics card, their absence negatively affects the GPU's performance.

Another unexpected piece of news is that xAI is going to launch a game studio that will develop projects with artificial intelligence. "We are launching an AI game studio. If you want to develop games with AI, join us!" - Musk announced. No further details have been released about the nature of the studio itself, its concept, the direction in which xAI plans to develop, or what it will be developing.

However, it turned out that the model cannot yet correctly reproduce the retro sound effects described in the user request. The biggest challenge for the new studio, howeve...
