Seems like so far, as far as anybody knows, only the Zotac “Solid” cards are affected.

First paragraph reads:

TechPowerUp has discovered that there are NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards in retail circulation that come with too few render units, which lowers performance. Zotac’s GeForce RTX 5090 Solid comes with fewer ROPs than it should—168 are enabled, instead of the 176 that are part of the RTX 5090 specifications. This loss of 8 ROPs has a small, but noticeable impact on performance. During recent testing, we noticed our Zotac RTX 5090 Solid sample underperformed slightly, falling behind even the NVIDIA RTX 5090 Founders Edition card. At the time we didn’t pay attention to the ROP count that TechPowerUp GPU-Z was reporting, and instead spent time looking for other reasons, like clocks, power, cooling, etc.

    Dawg why are you so slurpy over what is clearly money grubbing.

      I guess people jumping to unfounded conspiratorial conclusions while accusing the plebs of being the cause of all ills doesn’t sit well with me these days.

      I wonder why that’d be.
