NVIDIA RTX 5090 Chip Has Unexpected Problems
While the NVIDIA RTX 5090 attracted great attention with its launch, it was revealed that some units of the GB202 chip used in the graphics card experienced performance problems. According to the report, it was determined that the performance fell below expectations, especially due to the deficiency in the number of ROPs (Render Output Units). It is stated that although this situation only affects a certain batch of chips, all models can potentially be affected.
Details of the Problem in the NVIDIA RTX 5090 GB202 Chip
It was reported that the GB202 chip used in some models of the NVIDIA RTX 5090 showed a deficiency in the number of ROPs. This situation was noticed when users saw lower ROP values in tools such as GPU-Z and HWINFO. It is reported that these chips, which should normally contain 176 ROPs, have missing ROPs in some units, which leads to serious performance losses.
It is stated that the source of the problem is in the chip itself and cannot be fixed with a software update. NVIDIA announced that the affected units are in the minority and that these models will be replaced under warranty. However, it is stated that the problem can also be seen in all AIB (Add-In Board) manufacturers’ models and NVIDIA’s own Founders Edition series.
NVIDIA RTX 5090 users are advised to check the ROP count of their graphics cards. If the ROP count is lower than 176, this may indicate that the chip is faulty. It is stated that NVIDIA will initiate an RMA (Return Product Authorization) process for such cases, and users can request a replacement through this method.
The NVIDIA RTX 5090 was seen as a big step forward with the latest Blackwell architecture. However, such production problems can pose a serious challenge for the company. It is stated that NVIDIA is reorganizing its production processes to quickly resolve the problem and is working to prevent similar problems in the future. If users notice an unexpected decrease in performance on their cards, they can contact NVIDIA for support.
