Arrr, me hearties! Some savvy scallywags think they’ve struck gold, but Nvidia’s cursed chips be plaguin’ the RTX 5080 too!

Arrr matey! If ye be sportin' an RTX 5080, ye best be peekin' at yer GPU specs, lest ye find yerself with a faulty rendering pipeline! Make sure the count be right, or ye might just be sailin' in circles! Har har!
Ahoy mateys! Gather 'round, for I bring ye tidings from the realm of Nvidia's treacherous waters! The clever scallywags at Nvidia have fessed up that their RTX 5080 GPU be afflicted by a chip-level curse, just like the sorry state of its kin, the Blackwell GPUs, what be causing gaming to stutter and stumble like a drunken buccaneer on land!These rogue graphics cards, which should be fit for the fiercest sea battles, be comin' up short on their ROPs—aye, the very pipelines that render the glorious 3D treasures of yer games. Aye, it seems some of these cursed chips be missing eight ROPs, leavin' gamers feelin' like they’re sailin' with a hole in their ship!
Fear not, ye afflicted souls! Nvidia be offerin’ replacements if ye contact yer board manufacturer—though I reckon that’ll be as complicated as navigatin' a stormy sea! Meanwhile, the average loss be around 4%, but beware—some games might hit ye harder than others!
So hoist yer sails and check the ROP count with a trusty tool like GPU-Z, lest ye find yerself adrift in a sea of lag! Avast, Nvidia! Ye best right this ship before ye capsize! Arrr!
