There is a problem with some of the NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX-Series 50 graphics cards, and is reduced to the same components within the GPU. Nvidia said he has identified a “rare problem” with a small number of RTX 5090 graphics cards and RTX 5070 TI that works at a lower performance than they should. The good news is that Nvidia promises manufacturers to replace the impacted cards. The bad news is that you will still have difficulty buying one, even while some users complained that their cards did not work in the startup or, in one case, they literally caught fire.
RTX 5090 owners have complained online for more than a week that some cards were sent with less ROP, also known as render/raster output units of what they should. The RTX 5090 review units supposedly have 176 ROP enabled, according to Nvidia’s white role on the RTX 50 series, but some AIB variants can transport Blackwell architecture with less rop in operation. On Saturday, Nvidia confirmed the worst fears of the owners of the Board with The edgesaying that the problem affected .5% of The RTX 5090 and RTX 5070 TI cards were sold so far. The company said this led to a worse “4%” graphic performance. The problem with the Blackwell infrastructure also impacted the RTX 5090D focused on China. Nvidia said he has solved the manufacturing problem.
The owners must realize themselves if their ultra cost graphics card has a lower performance. Techpowerupthat helped identify the problem, cited that the solid cards Zotac RTX 5090 had a lower performance using the Site GPU-Z Toolwhich can explain the ROP number in your letter. Techpowerup identified eight ROP units that are missing in 5090, resulting in 4.5% storage capabilities with the Zotac card. The plot output units, which help in the final pieces of the RTX representation pipe, were missing or defective. ROP are more important for tasks such as anti-aliasing and texture representation, so users may not experience such a large fall in some games as others.
It is assumed that the RTX 5070 TI has 96 Rops, as our review unit admits. Some Forum users (through Tom’Shardware) To affirm that some letters have been sent with 88 ROP, which leads to an alleged 10% drop in performance in some games. To remedy the situation, users must contact these separate companies and work with them in replacements. Gizmodo communicated with Zotac to identify how users can search for GPU replacements, and we will update this story when we receive an answer.
The problem can be present in the founding editing cards and the full range of AIB of Asus, MSI and Gigabyte, to name a few. If Nvidia could correct the problem with software updates, I would. This indicates that the problem is a defect with at least some of the Blackwell GB202 chips, indicating that the problem arose from NVIDIA as the original manufacturer.
The launch of the RTX 50 series has met the most common number of hangings. The so -called 12 VHPWR 12 VHPWR cable is derived from the launch of Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 seems Blasé compared to this wild west of GPU controversies. Even so, there is a growing meaning among the NVIDIA users community that the last cards are stretching what a consumer end PC can handle, even without the 12VHPWR connector.
In Reddit (through Videocardz), A user He said they were using an Astral Rog RTX 5090 and experienced a catastrophic failure in which their board “caught fire.” The astral is a massive variant of four slots and four fan of the high -end GPU that costs more than $ 3,000. The user’s Inquisition states that they had played some games on their PC and were sailing on the web when the PC closed. In a restart, the smoke began to leave the case and discovered the burns marks in the GPU and the motherboard.
Without reaching conclusions, there is not much about why this GPU would explode in flames, although judging by the images, the problem did not start in the power connector. As some originally speculated, YouTuber Buildzoid blamed the power stage of the GPU, not the condenser. That problem seems to be in Asus instead of Nvidia ‘.
Nvidia clearly needed to rethink their quality guarantee and guarantee plans before launching the 50 series. Reviewers expect some growth pain during the revision process for a new product, especially one as technical as a GPU. While we tried the RTX 5090 and RTX 5070 TI, we experience multiple problems in which the PC would be loaded to a black screen after starting the closure or after a prolonged sleep period. Nvidia said it He repaired those problems with his latest controller update, 572.47, although users continue to express discontent in the official Nvidia forums. Nvidia representatives told users who are still investigating the problem. The solution may have to come in a VBIOS controller or update.
