GPU-Z update with ROPs warning, e.g. red letters/box

Tek-Check · 2025-03-01T14:45:09+0000

Hello guys,
Following on from what CPU-Z team has done in their validator tool displaying missing ROPs, would it be possible to add something even more immediate on the start screen of GPU-Z and display ROP count box in red colour or number in red bold letters if it discovers lower ROPs?

In this way, users would be able to quickly see that something is wrong or missing whenever they start the app. We know that many regular users may not be aware of (missing) ROPs if they do not follow tech news. For them, this could be the only way to find out and issue RMA request. Cheers.

That is actually a lucid idea. I second that.

We have fresh video from GN showing significant impact of missing ROPs on 5080 FE performance in several scenarios.
Huston, we have a problem...

Good idea, support.

NVIDIA will remove ROPS reporting in 6000 series like hotspot in 5000.

Tech community will find a way.

I never thought we would ever need such a feature, but considering recent events, I have to agree that it's a good idea.

Maybe they'll learn... And remove reporting everything. Even your GPU will be called "Generic Nvidia Display Adapter" in the device manager.
