Did they (AMD) forgot the ROPS on again?

What do you mean by that?

Can we disable the GPU parts which are not used in the computing so as to save energy?

I remember back when people mined scrypt some dude made a great deal of a modded BIOS. One of the things I remember is that yes, he said you can shut down whole GPU blocks. The power consumption was greatly reduced - oddly, as the whole point of using compute is to bypass ROP units.
But I don't know if you disable them 'forever' to next reboot or what. I certainly wouldn't do that for cards which are not dedicated to compute only as shutting down the ROPs will make the hardware unable to run any graphics API in existence.
