GeForce RTX 50 Laptop Models Said to Be Missing ROPs Like Desktop Counterparts
Nvidia's laptop SKUs have also been reported to be missing ROPs (Render Output Units), potentially resulting in a delayed launch due to additional checks required by OEMs and Nvidia. The problem may extend beyond desktop offerings, with some affected models possibly slipping through quality control before shipping out. Nvidia has acknowledged only a 'small portion' of its Blackwell-based RTX 50 graphics cards are missing ROPs, but the extent of the issue remains unclear.
- The consequences of these delays and potential performance issues on the gaming community could be significant, particularly for enthusiasts who rely on the latest hardware to stay competitive.
- Will the recent disruptions in Nvidia's supply chain, including the reported loss of 20,000 wafers due to a Taiwanese earthquake, ultimately impact the availability and pricing of GeForce RTX 50 laptops?
