The unit was mistakenly listed as “B-stock” at a price above MSRP despite its defect.
The listing has since been removed.
The listing quickly disappeared, possibly having been sold despite the store’s clear warning.

RunningGPU-Zconfirms that some 5090s are enabling only 168 ROPs instead of the specified 176.
Like refurbished or used components, most B-Stock GPUs show signs of wear or come with slightly damaged packaging.
While Alternate carries other GPUs in B-Stock, none have been reported with missing ROPs so far.
