Missing ROPs in NVIDIA's Blackwell GPUs and leaked RTX 5070 performance metrics aren't sitting well with NVIDIA faithful. Here's what you need to know.

Our RTX 5070 Ti review reveals a capable high-end GPU that's currently being let down by its excessive launch pricing.

Defective RTX 5070 Ti with eight missing ROPs sees an up-to 10% drop in performance, depending on the scenario.

Nvidia's RTX 50-series makes its first foray below the $1,000 mark starting this week, with the $749 RTX 5070 Ti—at least in theory.

Nvidia recommends a 750-watt power supply for the RTX 5070 Ti, which is only 50 watts more than for the RTX 4070 Ti and 4070 Ti Super. The 300W total graphics power is just 15 watts more than the 4070 Ti.

Users are reporting missing ROPs in their RTX 50 Series GPUs, with the latest reports highlighting that the issues also affects the GeForce RTX 5080.

Price Point: At $750, the RTX 5070 Ti is a strong option for new buyers seeking a capable mid-tier GPU, but it may not offer enough value for those already owning the RTX 4070 Ti.

It’s true: Nvidia has just confirmed it shipped some RTX 5090, RTX 5090D, and even some RTX 5070 Ti graphics chips that were missing render units, as TechPowerUp originally reported — and that you’ll be able to get a replacement if your card was affected.

Nvidia says that a few RTX 5090 / 5090D and RTX 5070 Ti GPUs shipped with defective ROPs, telling affected users to contact the manufacturer for a replacement.
