Nvidia admits some early RTX 5080 cards are missing ROPs, too

Nvidia admits some early RTX 5080 cards are missing ROPs, too

Published by Webster

When Nvidia originally confirmed that some of its new RTX 50-series graphics cards had a “rare” manufacturing issue that left them missing some promised render units and a slight amount of performance as a result, it only named three affected cards: the RTX 5090, RTX 5090D, and RTX 5070 Ti. But now, Nvidia has confirmed to us that RTX 5080 production was affected by the same issue as well. “Upon further investigation, we’ve identified that an early production build of GeForce RTX 5080 GPUs were also affected by the same issue. Affected consumers can contact the board manufacturer for a replacement,” Nvidia GeForce global PR director Ben Berraondo tells The Verge. In response to The Verge’s questions, Berraondo adds that “no other Nvidia GPUs have been affected” — we specifically asked about the upcoming RTX 5070, and he says it’s not affected either. Nor should any cards be affected that were produced more recently: “The production anomaly has been corrected,” he says. In case you’re wondering, he also told us that Nvidia was not aware …

Nvidia confirms ‘rare’ RTX 5090 and 5070 Ti manufacturing issue

We have identified a rare issue affecting less than 0.5% (half a percent) of GeForce RTX 5090 / 5090D and 5070 Ti GPUs which have one fewer ROP than specified. The average graphical performance impact is 4%, with no impact on AI and Compute workloads. Affected consumers can contact the board manufacturer for a replacement. The production anomaly has been corrected. Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here. All rights belong to their respective owners.

Nvidia is launching ‘priority access’ to help fans buy RTX 5080 and 5090 FE GPUs

Nvidia is launching ‘priority access’ to help fans buy RTX 5080 and 5090 FE GPUs

Published by Webster

Like a similar Verified Priority Access program for the RTX 4090, the new program is invite-only, but this time you’ll apply for access by filling out this form rather than being pre-selected. The site will check that you’ve already had an Nvidia account (accounts created after January 30th need not apply) and ask you whether you’d prefer a 5090 or a 5080. Then, it’ll apparently use an algorithm to figure out if you’re a real gamer (analyzing your Nvidia app / GeForce Experience use) before offering a card. Limit one per person. “Invites will begin rolling out next week,” writes Nvidia. The company doesn’t say how many cards have been allocated to this program, so it’s difficult to tell if this is a meaningful way to get cards to gamers rather than scalpers.

Nvidia delays the RTX 5070 till after AMD’s reveal

Nvidia delays the RTX 5070 till after AMD’s reveal

Published by Webster

Nvidia will ship its $749 RTX 5070 Ti ahead of AMD’s event, though, on February 20th, a week from today. AMD has telegraphed that it won’t be competing with Nvidia’s latest and greatest cards, so price is the one big lever that AMD can potentially pull in order to compete. (The AMD Radeon 9070 cards appeared to be targeting Nvidia 4070 Ti and 4070 Super levels of performance, not necessarily higher.) But Nvidia, a company that can now make $20 billion in pure profit in a single quarter, could theoretically counter that if it feels it needs to, and now has more room to do so. All that said, there is a rumor that AMD may be working on a more potent card than its already-announced RX 9070 and 9070 XT, one with 32GB of RAM. AMD gaming marketing boss Frank Azor says the 9070 XT won’t be a 32GB card, but did not address the larger rumor. Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here.

Where to preorder Nvidia’s RTX 5080 and 5090 graphics cards

Where to preorder Nvidia’s RTX 5080 and 5090 graphics cards

Published by Webster

While Nvidia’s RTX 50-series graphics cards weren’t the zaniest devices at CES 2025, they stole the show with their promised groundbreaking performance breakthroughs. The RTX 5070, in particular, made headlines as a card that can supposedly rival an RTX 4090 for just $549. We later learned it uses DLSS 4’s AI-powered multi frame generation to achieve that in supported titles, but that’s a welcome compromise for those who can’t find room in their budget for the beefier 4K-ready GPUs that are going up for sale at 9AM ET on January 30th — including the $999.99 RTX 5080 and the $1,999.99 RTX 5090. Those premium cards are capable of greater raw performance, however. In our RTX 5080 review, we found it’s only about 15 percent faster than the RTX 4080 it’s replacing. Meanwhile, the benchmarks we ran for our RTX 5090 review averaged 28 percent better frame rates compared to the RTX 4090 for 4K games running at their highest settings with no frame generation help. That’s still impressive given the Founder’s Edition is small enough …

Nvidia warns that the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 might quickly run out of stock

Published by Webster

Nvidia is launching its next-gen RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 graphics cards tomorrow, and it looks like there will be low stocks of both cards. After rumors of the RTX 5090 being in short supply for retailers and card manufacturers, Nvidia has now admitted it believes “stock-outs may happen.” “We expect significant demand for the GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 and believe stock-outs may happen,” says Tim Adams, Nvidia’s head of GeForce community, in a forum post. “Nvidia & our partners are shipping more stock to retail every day to help get GPUs into the hands of gamers.” Some retailers and system builders have been warning that some RTX 5090 cards won’t be available until February, with potential delays for weeks or months to come. PowerGPU revealed last week that the system builder was “told to expect it to be that way for the first three months.” People are already reportedly camping outside some Microcenter locations in the US in preparation for low stocks, eager to get hold of the first RTX 5080 and RTX …

Nvidia is revealing a big upgrade to its Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) technology today. DLSS 4 will include new neural rendering capabilities that, on systems with the new RTX 50 Series GPUs, can do Multi Frame Generation, generating “up to three additional frames per traditionally rendered frame, working in unison with the complete suite of DLSS technologies to multiply frame rates by up to 8X over traditional brute-force rendering.” According to Nvidia, that’s a big enough upgrade to make 4K 240fps, fully ray-traced gaming possible. Also, in an upgrade that will work on all GeForce RTX GPUs, DLSS games with Ray Reconstruction, Super Resolution, and DLAA can be updated to new transformer AI models that use the same tech as AI tools like ChatGPT, which it says is a first for the graphics industry.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 GPU Benchmarks Reveal Up to 46 Percent Performance Improvement: Report

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 GPU Benchmarks Reveal Up to 46 Percent Performance Improvement: Report

Published by Webster

Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 Series Blackwell GPUs were announced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025 earlier this month but are yet to hit the market. The RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 models will be available for purchase on January 30. Ahead of their arrival, reviewers have reportedly revealed the synthetic benchmarks for the top-of-the-line GeForce RTX 5090 GPU which hint towards a performance improvement of up to 46 percent, depending on the benchmarking platform used to run the tests. Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 GPU Benchmarks In a report, VideoCardz compiled the benchmark test results. Citing conversations with several reviewers, the publication reports that gamers can expect a performance jump of approximately 20 percent with the new Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 GPU compared to its predecessor, the RTX 4090. While these numbers are fairly accurate, the report emphasises that performance may vary significantly depending on the game, resolution, and settings. FireStrike, which is the DirectX 11 benchmark for gaming PCs, reportedly highlighted a 36 percent performance improvement. It was evaluated in Performance, Extreme, and Ultra scenarios. …
