Defective RTX 5070 Ti reportedly suffers up to double-digit performance loss
The defective RTX 5070 Ti units suffer from having 8 fewer ROPs than the full 96 units, resulting in a double-digit performance deficit according to some testing. Nvidia claims that the missing ROPs will only result in a gaming performance hit of around 4%, but independent testing paints a worse picture. The discrepancy highlights the challenges of manufacturing and quality control in high-end graphics cards.
- This issue serves as a stark reminder of the importance of rigorous testing and inspection processes in the production of complex electronic components, where even minor flaws can have significant consequences.
- How will Nvidia address these issues and ensure that its future GPU products meet the required performance standards, particularly considering the upcoming competition from AMD's RX 9070 XT?
