Gaming, Slider, Trendy

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.

In cases where the problem is really related to the drivers, it can be solved by completely removing the package using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) and then reinstalling. The problem is complicated by the fact that the symptoms of failures reported by users vary, and they manifest themselves in different models of vi...
