Nvidia has categorically denied that its upcoming RTX 50 family of laptop GPUs has been hit by the same missing ROP debacle as numerous variants of RTX 50 desktop graphics cards.

Reports emerged this week from German tech site Heise Online that Nvidia had instructed laptop makers to double-check the ROP or render output count on RTX 50 laptops that had already been produced.
