Nvidia Denies Reports of Missing ROPs in RTX 50-Series Laptop GPUs
While Nvidia insists no laptop GPUs are affected, reports suggest manufacturers are conducting extensive checks and delays may impact product availability.
- Nvidia has categorically denied claims that its RTX 50-series laptop GPUs are affected by the 'missing ROPs' issue seen in some desktop GPUs.
- The company states that all laptop GPUs have undergone standard quality checks and assures consumers that no further issues exist.
- German outlet Heise Online reports manufacturers have been asked to inspect RTX 50 laptops for missing ROPs, causing delays in production and retail launches.
- Nvidia's desktop GPUs, including the RTX 5090, 5080, and 5070 Ti, were previously confirmed to have a small percentage of units with missing ROPs, leading to up to an 11% performance loss in some cases.
- Retail availability of RTX 50-series laptops has reportedly been postponed, with high-end models expected in March and mid-range models delayed until April or May.
