Accordingly, the technology company from the US confirmed that it has delivered some RTX 5090, RTX 5090D graphics cards and even the high-end version RTX 5070 Ti with a lack of some render processing units.
Previously, Tech Up Power discovered that some of the outstanding NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards had fewer render processing units than the manufacturer announced, which reduced usage performance.
Ben Berraondo - Global PR Director of Nvidia GeForce said: We have identified a rare problem affecting less than 0.5% of the GPUs of GeForce RTX 5090 / 5090D and 5070 Ti cards, in which the number of ROPs is only one unit less than the standard. The average impact on graphics performance is 4%, not affecting AI and computing tasks".
At the same time, Mr. Berraondo also said that affected consumers can contact the mach manufacturer for a replacement. This production problem has been fixed.
It is known that overall, this shortcoming does not seem to affect many GPUs, especially considering the "khan rare" situation of the RTX 5090 on the market. However, there has not been much new information about the issue of power sources for the RTX 5,000 being overheated recently.
According to the PC Koubou e-commerce chain, early in the morning of January 30 this year (local time), up to 400 people appeared in Akihabara (a famous shopping mall in Japan) in the hope of buying a new GeForce RTX graphics card from Nvidia.
This store had to cancel the sale due to the chaos caused by long-standing customers. Videos shared rapidly online show the chaotic scene at the store, where hundreds of shoppers pushed and jostled on the narrow sidewalk, even spilling onto the road.
This chaotic scene then quickly spread on Japanese social networks. This is clear evidence of the impact of the US-China technology war on the gaming community.
