Welcome back to the DogHouse!

This week, on DogHouse 19, Lorenzo and John dive into the mystery of the missing ROPs in NVIDIA’s latest 50-series GPUs. Why does the RTX 5080 have fewer Raster Operations Pipelines than expected? We break it down and discuss what it means for performance. Plus, there is some other tech news you might be interested in hearing.

Then, Abby shares her game picks of the week, including a Dungeon & Dragons MMORPG, a casual farming game, and the Epic Free Game of the Week. Then, Abby dives into entertainment news: Warner Brothers fighting DVD disc rot, Shrek 5 teaser trailer, the Razzies 2024, and more.

Finally, a listener still gets a pop-up when launching WoW about a BIOS update. What’s going on, and how do you fix it?
