Avast ye! The cursed launch of Nvidia’s shiny new GPUs be as smooth as a barnacle-covered hull! Now, a rogue glitch be plundering the speed of the RTX 5090 and 5070 Ti, like a scallywag stealing t’rum from yer stash! Arrr, what a right mess!
Aye mateys! Gather 'round fer a tale o' trouble brewin' in the digital seas! Nvidia, the crafty chipmaker, be confessin' that a wee 1 in 200 of their shiny RTX 5090 and 5070 Ti GPUs be sufferin' a nasty fate. It seems these treasure chests o' graphics be missin' a vital piece—the ROP! Aye, that’s the Raster Operations Pipeline, a key cog in the machine that brings ye games to life.Word from the captain's cabin says this defect slows down performance by an average o' 4%, a mere pittance, but still a thorn in the side of many a gamer. Nvidia be suggestin' that those with afflicted cards contact their ship's manufacturer for a swap before they be walkin' the plank of disappointment.
The mischief was first spotted by the savvy crew at TechPowerUp, who noticed some GPUs were performin' worse than a ship with a hole in its hull! So, if yer fancy a bit o' gaming, best check yer GPU with the trusty GPU-Z tool and see if yer ROPs be as they should! If ye find yer GPU be cursed, hoist the sails and get in touch with yer maker. But beware! The treasure o' replacements may take time to arrive, leaving ye in the dark depths of the gaming abyss!
