The launch of the NVIDIA RTX 50 series was anything but smooth. In addition to delivery problems and reports of overheating graphics cards, there were also driver problems which meant that users only saw a black screen when starting their PC if the monitor was connected via DisplayPort. In addition, the lack of ROPs (Render Output Units) caused great uncertainty among buyers. Many wondered whether their own card was also affected. CPU-Z provides a remedy here, as the tool now offers a new function that issues a warning if a graphics card is equipped with too few ROPs.
Investigations have revealed that various models in the RTX 50 series have fewer ROPs than originally expected. Among others, the RTX 5070 Ti, 5080 and 5090(D) are affected. The 5070 Ti had only 88 ROPs instead of the expected 96, the 5080 had 104 instead of 112, and the 5090(D), where this problem was first noticed, had 168 instead of 176 ROPs. Although these deviations appear small at first glance, they can reduce performance by up to eleven percent. Initially, it was suspected that the manufacturer was at fault, but it is now clear that this phenomenon occurs regardless of the manufacturer.
For many users, the question arose as to how they could check for themselves whether their graphics card was affected. Until now, it was possible to find out with the help of GPU-Z, as the tool provides detailed information on the graphics card installed. CPU-Z now offers an additional option for checking. As Doc TB, the maintainer of CPU-Z, announced, the program detects missing ROPs and issues a corresponding warning. However, this function only works if the hardware specifications are uploaded to the CPU-Z database for validation. Only after this validation can the user view the complete information.
Affected customers have the option of contacting the manufacturer of their graphics card and requesting a replacement card if necessary. However, due to the ongoing supply problems, you must be prepared for the fact that it may take some time to process and replace the card.
