Oof, I'm just feeling better and better about holding onto my RTX 3090 for as long as I can

i still want a 5090 to replace my 3090

but only @MSRP

 

[Celcius]

You may want to update the OP, there are now confirmed issues with cards from multiple manufacturers not just Zotac

 

[Akuji]

The 5080 may be a worse value, but since buying mine I have had absolutely no problems with mine and it's putting in a ton of work. I think I made the right decision.

Just make sure to oc the vram then the 5080 is a fine card.

 

[TheShocker]

*hugs 4090 even tighter*

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

It's safe to downgrade now

 

[GreatnessRD]

With everything going on with Blackwell, still gonna be a line around the corner to spend $3500 United Murica dollars on both a 5090 or 5080 w/monitor combo

 

[Thabass]

Just make sure to oc the vram then the 5080 is a fine card.

I haven't done it yet, as I wanted to do some primary testing without an OC, but I'll doing some OC tests soon. I have the MSI Gaming Trio OC Version and it's already providing really good results.

 

[Lagspike_exe]

This is wild. I'm pretty sure this never happened in the history of GPUs. Some cards (i.e.,) even had locked shader units you could unlock to boost performance, but missing ROPs is an insane oversight.

 

[asdasdasdbb]

Sounds like Intel. Too busy "Working" from home to do QA.

Will do

Don't start that "remote work isn't real work" nonsense

That's why people love it.

Apple was in a rut too for awhile.

 

[Windom Earle]

Zotac plebs BTFO

My Suprim has ALL the ROPES.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Thanks once again for making me feel better about my 4090 purchase.

 

[Hudo]

Don't worry. You can buy additional ROPs. Only $1000 per ROP. The more you buy, the more you save.

Sure, but not oc the memory just leaves Performance on the table. So look atleast into this.

[HeisenbergFX4]

This launch was horrible.

Grats guys who got one and better yet ones that kept working

Mine displayed lines through my OLED display almost instantly

 

[Astray]

Like I said the other day.

Being a PC-only or first gamer means that QA is your responsibility on every piece of the experience.

Even buying the top part doesn't earn you a reprieve from this fact. Last year we had the i9 debacle too.

5090? Sorry to hear that. What a mess this launch. Will check tomorrow whether my card has all the ROPs.

Did you have to RMA?

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Did you have to RMA?

Yeah was actually a 5090 prebuilt from Best Buy and yeah I was forced to return it

Was able to get a 5080 prebuilt so kind of happy with that until maybe 5090 stock comes back

 

[CLW]

Jensen right now

I got those lines too a couple of times too when I plugging in a 2nd display(my 8K QLED) while encoding video files.

 

[Buggy Loop]

That's an easy RMA for sure

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

I got those lines too a couple of times too when I plugging in a 2nd display(my 8K QLED) while encoding video files.

I was getting them with different cables, tried using all the different ports and even switched monitors and was still getting them

Sometimes they would be red but always vertical.

Tried reseating it but nothing helped so it went back

 

[Ellery]

Imagine you were one of those people that bought an RTX 5090 from a scalper for $7200 on StockX and then you game on the Chinese Version 5090D desperately waiting for new games to come out and god heaven you are in the year 2025 of GTA 6 on console release.

 

[BattleScar]

"small batch"

MSI Suprim

Don't worry, all of the 5090s released are from that "small batch" based on the number of them there are available for sale.

 

[Kilau]

Gonna be a long day at work waiting to check my FE at home.

 

[AFBT88]

Why? Nothing is stopping you from buying an AMD or Intel GPU.

RT and FSR/XeSS do. If AMD/Intel can atleast be comparable to Nvidia in those categories, i would buy AMD/Intel. So far they've not been close enough.
It's a joke that both AMD/Intel have no GPU that is close to RTX 4080 in RT after almost 2 and half years! Hopefully 9000 series will be good.

According to this video cardz article

https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-...-and-rtx-5070-ti-were-shipped-with-fewer-rops

Looks like 1/2% of the 5090's are affected plus some of the 5070ti's. Admittedly sounds like I should go with my plan of holding off until May or June and seeing what available. (Admittedly I tend to hold off upgrading my PC around now in part because were I live it's so dry I'm worried I'll zap stuff with a spark of static electricity. It's not a problem once spring rolls around.)

 

[winjer]

Fake frames and now fake ROPs.

This is a bad take. I've run large fully remote and hybrid eng orgs that predate COVID. (I am "old") If you can't properly performance manage remote engineers you won't be able to properly performance manage them in an open floor plan office either. You just give up talent pool for some weird perception of productivity.

All serious tech companies have extremely mature models for per engineer performance. None of it requires seeing a person or nannying how they spend their hours per day. Butts-in-chairs as a measure of performance just doesn't work for top performing orgs, and if your company/manager/middle-manager thinks otherwise... leave

Horrible launch and general situation around the PC GPU market.
But nVidia has reached such a high level of greed and confidence over its monopoly that it might become easier for competitors to strike a blow...hopefully?

This year I need to change my 2018 notebook and I was thinking to buy something with a mobile 5080 but at this point I don't know what to expect, I'm definitely not going to spend 4000$ on it..let's see reviews and what I can buy with a 2500$ budget.

Some of the 4080 laptops seem to be on sale. Those at least have 12GB VRAM.

0.5% is a crazy high rate of error at this scale. Clearly they've cut corners to further juice margins on the non-datacenter hardware (where they earn their serious cash) and this is disappointing. They'll fix it and everyone will move on, time (and cost to make board partners whole who do the RMAs) will tell whether they learn the right lesson from this.

Unless the BIOS/drivers are designed to silently disable the broken ROPs, how exactly are they reported as missing rather than being present but causing corruption and/or crashes? I'm just slightly suspicious that given low availability, and assumedly low yields, partially broken chips have been knowingly shipped with the hope that no-one notices.

I have trouble believing that these just slipped into the supply chain unnoticed.

The ROPs are fused off. It's a binning mistake.

checks out with the missing brain cells, to have forked 3k on this

Oh for sure I will, I had just been busy with life and stuff. Today is the day I get to do some real OCing.
