So in this case, the rop were not detected because of firmware? Strange, but at least would be solvable. Let’s see if this situation for the 5090 is the same
This is just speculation on my part, but I guess they are detected, but the firmware just doesn’t use all of them. I think the chips are all a bit different, with different defects, parts removed, and stuff like that.
That is for sure true. And this variance that creates the “binning lottery” people talk about (and why there is some people that will pay premium for specific high binned parts)
Looks like I was wrong, with so many different models affected, this has to be intentional.
Who knows if this always happens, but the firmware usually hides it, and like you said, people attribute the performance difference to the binning lottery (or most don’t even notice).
