Last month, TechPowerUp was heavily involved in the identification of missing ROPs across newly released GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards. NVIDIA, board partners and system integrators have (largely) acknowledged these issues. Certain companies have initiated the processing of customer returned units, but a pre-built PC specialist—CyberPowerPC—revealed a more proactive approach when dealing with less-than-pedigree hardware. Corsair has weighed in on the matter, since its ORIGIN and Vengeance businesses are involved in the building and sale of modern gaming rigs. A company rep—CorsairLucky—provided some insight on their official subreddit: "upon learning of this issue, we immediately implemented a thorough review of the detailed production reports for each system shipped to date. Matching the expected breadth of this issue, we have identified only one customer with an affected GPU and are actively working with them to provide a replacement."

Team Green posits that only 0.5% of released "Blackwell" GPU-based products are affected, Corsair's statement also refers to this percentage statistic. Several media outlets have posited that NVIDIA has produced a "conjectured" figure—in particular, the claimed 0.5% stat was questioned by Gamers Nexus. According to VideoCardz's inside track, NVIDIA's launch of GeForce RTX 5070 cards was delayed due to a number of factors—including lower than expected ROP counts. Earlier today, Team Green confirmed that its GeForce RTX 5070 Founders Edition launch window has been pushed into "late March."Corsair has seemingly followed CyberPowerPC's lead; with a revised quality assurance (QA) process—CorsairLucky's post outlined some extra steps: "in light of the recent issue regarding NVIDIA's RTX 50-series ROP discrepancies, we want to assure our customers that we are taking proactive measures to ensure the integrity of every system we ship. While reports indicate that this issue affects approximately 0.5% of RTX 50-series GPUs, we believe that any potential performance deviation is unacceptable. We must also be transparent and acknowledge that, initially, our testing procedures did not flag this specific ROP discrepancy during our production process...Please see our latest Explorer Article for more information on the rigorous, multi-stage testing that we've implemented to validate the correct ROP count and to check if your Vengeance/ORIGIN PC is affected."
