Nvidia has discovered a flaw in a small number of RTX 5090 and 5070 Ti graphics cards, affecting approximately 0.5% of the total produced. The issue stems from defective silicon that has resulted in missing raster operations pipelines (ROPs), crucial components responsible for rendering images on the screen. Nvidia has assured customers that performance will not be significantly impacted for most users, and those with affected cards will receive a replacement free of charge. The company is currently investigating the cause of the defect and implementing measures to prevent similar issues from occurring in the future.
