February 22, 20251 yr At 8:00 he shows how to test any video card for missing ROPS with CPU-Z 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel. Crystal Light VR.
February 22, 20251 yr My 4070 should have 64 ROPS, and GPU-Z says that if does. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

February 22, 20251 yr Author Latest news from Jay on X... Statement from NVIDIA. Apparently the ROP issue affected 5070Ti as well, 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.

February 23, 20251 yr Someone opined that history may regard the RTX4090 as the last "landmark" release of a halo Nvidia card. The reasons they gave were that a lot of the things that will appear to make newer generations substantially better may be more through software innovation and AI than brute force hardware innovations. But I think I might add "quality control" to that as well now. I see the same things with hardware these days that I saw with games / simulations over the last 25 years. In that we are now paid beta testers.

I do the same. With both software and hardware I am happy to wait until it is at least 12 - 18 months old before adopting it. The closest I came to breaking that rule was when I bought my RTX4080 Super which was the first high end GPU I ever bought outside of a Voodoo 5500 back in 1999. But even then the "plain" RTX4080 had been out for a year before I bought mine even if the Super version was much newer.
