Remember when Nvidia categorically told us that “no other Nvidia GPUs” had shipped, or would be shipping, with missing render units? Well, you can imagine our surprise to read that the company’s RTX 50-series laptop GPUs might be affected as well, with Heise Online and HardwareLuxx reporting that Nvidia has asked manufacturers to check their laptops for fewer ROPs than promised.

But Nvidia tells The Verge there isn’t actually a problem with those notebook GPUs. “All partners continue to run checks as part of our standard testing procedure,” Nvidia GeForce global PR director Ben Berraondo tells us, adding that Nvidia will reach out to both German publications to discuss.

We asked very specifically:

Did we just go from “no other GPUs are affected” to ‘“some laptop GPUs” are also affected?

The answer was “Nope.”

Just to triple-check, the “nope” means that no laptop GPUs are affected by the missing ROP issue, yes?

“Correct, no further issues,” says Berraondo.

That’s a fairly categorical denial, and it sounds like laptop buyers can expect to find the full compliment of ROPs in their Nvidia 50-series laptops either way — either because there never was an issue to begin with, or because there’s no longer an issue now that partners will catch it during these tests.

Both Heise and HardwareLuxx have suggested that these tests are unusual in one way: some laptops may be delivered in April or May instead of planned March release dates. However, Heise also reports one other possible reason for delays: that “Nvidia only recently distributed the final vBIOS for the notebook GPUs,” according to Google Translate.
