If you’ve bought an RTX 5080, you need to check your GPU specs and see if the count for a certain rendering pipeline is correct.

“We have identified a rare issue affecting less than 0.5% (half a percent) of GeForce RTX 5090 / 5090D and 5070 Ti GPUs, which have one fewer ROP than specified," an Nvidia representative told Tom's Hardware Saturday. "The average graphical performance impact is 4%, with no impact on AI and Compute workloads.”

It's official—following the first user report of a GeForce RTX 5080 to display missing ROPs in the popular GPU-Z utility, NVIDIA has confirmed that it too is affected by a rare 'production anomaly'
