Member of the TechPowerUP forums has discovered that a ZOTAC RTX 5090 graphics card has missing ROPs (Raster Operating Units or Raster Operating Pipelines). The ZOTAC SOLID card, which should have 176 ROPs, is reportedly shipping with only 168 ROPs enabled.

TechPowerUP, which owns the GPU-Z software and has an extensive GPU BIOS database, also happened to have the same graphics card for testing. They confirmed that their review card has the same issue.

In the original review, TechPowerUP noticed that the ZOTAC 5090 SOLID card underperformed slightly and was falling behind the RTX 5090 Founders Edition. They admitted they didn’t initially notice that their card had the same issue, and only after a discovery by TechPowerUP forum member “Wuxi Gamer” did they confirm that their card had the same problem with missing ROPs.
