Maingear CEO says the company has had 'zero GPUs with missing ROPs', so maybe Nvidia's talk of a rare 'early production build' problem isn't just handwaving

The Nvidia RTX 50-series has been hobbled by all kinds of problems, least of which being low stocks and resultant high prices. So when there was talk of missing ROPs in some of the new GPUs, it seemed like little more than nasty icing on an under-baked cake. However, if what founder and CEO of Maingear Computer's Wallace Santos says is anything to go by, this problem might be incredibly rare.

"We thoroughly test every MAINGEAR Computers before it ships—including installing GPU-Z, checking for anomalies like missing ROPs," the CEO says in a LinkedIn post. "Out of the hundreds of 5000 series builds, we've found 0 GPUs with missing ROPs. Our mission is simple... build it well and support it well so you can game!"
