Another easter egg from the absolute geniuses at Nvidia

Surprise Reversal: GeForce RTX 5090 Found with Too Many ROPs, Matches RTX Pro 6000, +8% Performance
NVIDIA's stellar quality control with the $2,000 GeForce RTX 5090 saw quite a few customers end up with cards that had fewer ROPs than they should—168 as opposed to its original spec of 176. The 8 fewer ROPs results in a roughly 5% drop in performance. When you're ponying up over two grand, this...
Are we sure that's not just a April fools? I don't really buy it lolAnother easter egg from the absolute geniuses at Nvidia

I didn't even think of that. You know what? I just read the comments and I think I believe your theory. Lol

Pretty sure it has to be an April fools surely!
It has to be. Nvidia would never give anything for free.
How many places did you drop in the end? Was this a drop of 60+ units?
I only know how many suprims. None.
Pretty sure they only got 5 none oc, I moved from 62 to 57 today, oc was at least 22 as somebody in a disc server I'm in has had their oc picked today was no.22 in the queue
Cool, I supect the Waterforce is 'cooler' than the Astral LC from @Rusty0611 results are. 'properish' wb rather than a fan for vrm on the Astral. I would be keen to know how your mate gets on, thanks. 
Looks like they had a massive drop of Gigabyte cards, 16 different models I counted. Good to see Gigabyte shipping out some meaningful numbers in the UK for a change.

Gigabyte's shipments of 5090s have been absolutely pathetic. They must have shipped one of the lowest volumes of cards by any AIB manufacturer.Looks like they had a massive drop of Gigabyte cards, 16 different models I counted.

I'm not holding my breath but hopefully this is the start of more substantial shipments by Gigabyte going forward. Just need some more reasonable prices to go with it...

Yeah, we shall see.... When their usually near MSRP card (Windforce) is £2500 at most retailers, something is clearly wrong. Funnily enough, the best Gigabyte 5090 I have seen is an instantly sold out Gaming OC 5090 for £2350 (was already OOS when i clicked through the hotstock app notification).I'm not holding my breath but hopefully this is the start of more substantial shipments by Gigabyte going forward. Just need some more reasonable prices to go with it...
