CyberpowerPC has indicated it verifies each GeForce RTX 50 Series system for missing ROPs. A great way to avoid hardware returns while giving customers peace of mind.
The PC builder has found an easy way to distinguish its products from competition. When selecting a machine housing an RTX 5090, RTX 5080, or RTX 5070 Ti, you will see a text message ensuring you that your graphics card will include the correct number of ROPs. This follows Nvidia officially acknowledging manufacturing issues that caused missing ROPs in RTX 50 Series GPUs.
Though Nvidia claims that only 0.5% of GeForce GPUs are affected by this issue, some users would still feel uneasy purchasing an RTX card. Cyberpower’s program comes as an insurance policy which filters the affected cards, so you can be sure to get what you paid for. And the best part for the system integrator is that this won’t require much effort since the check is baked into the stress test portion of its process before shipping the PC.
To be clear, while this intervention may be in good faith, it also avoids unnecessary RMA returns which would cost Cyberpower time and money. I wouldn’t be surprised to see other system integrators announcing similar programs. Some may already be running such verifications without mentioning them. In any case, this is a great move netting the brand some good publicity and customer appreciation.
Now, if you own an RTX 50 Series system but aren’t sure about the ROPs count of your GPU, you can download GPU-Z and run it. Note the number of ROPs located above the Shaders count and compare it to the specs we list in our RTX 5090, RTX 5080, and RTX 5070 Ti reviews. If the numbers match, then you are good to go. However, if you are among the unlucky ones, your only outcome is to send it back to the manufacturer and hope the RMA won’t take ages due to the GPU shortages. Good luck.
