Missing ROPs in NVIDIA's Blackwell GPUs and leaked RTX 5070 performance metrics aren't sitting well with NVIDIA faithful. Here's what you need to know.

As we approach the official launch next month, the first wave of leaked RTX 5070 benchmarks has started to arrive on Geekbench. According to these figures, across the OpenCL and Vulkan APIs, the RTX 5070 fails to definitively beat the RTX 4070 Super.

It’s true: Nvidia has just confirmed it shipped some RTX 5090, RTX 5090D, and even some RTX 5070 Ti graphics chips that were missing render units, as TechPowerUp originally reported — and that you’ll be able to get a replacement if your card was affected.
