News NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs Already Facing Shortages, Prices For RTX 5090 & RTX 5080 Have Doubled In Some Regions
- Thread starter bssunilreddy
- Start date
The fact that they stuck to the same process node, slapped on deceptive marketing with fake frames (5070=4090 LOL), is what got most riled up. This could have easily passed off as a 4090 Ti.
Well, they just lost $600 Billion in market cap. Karma finally bit them in the ass for their greed.
Agreed on most points, and why I had refrained from commenting before. I was interested in the efficiency regression claims, which just seems like a big nothingburger.

NVIDIA Is Reportedly Suppressing Inventory Levels For High-End RTX 50 Series GPUs, As a Move To “Market” Its SKUs
NVIDIA Is Artificially Holding Back The Inventory Of RTX 50 Series GPUs, Mid-Range Models Will Feature Way Better Availability
NVIDIA is now reported to have "artificially" suppressed inventory levels in the retail segment, as a move to market its RTX 50 GPUs, by giving the impression that they are in hot-demand.Well, it won't be wrong to say that Team Green's RTX 50 series GPU line-up is one of the most troublesome launches since the firm has messed up in several aspects. During the initial launch days, we saw NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090 showing single-digit inventory figures across several retailers, which controls the supply and does not release it; meant that supply wasn't enough to sustain the demand, which was indeed driven by scalpers and those looking to get their hands on something high-end. However, this low inventory level isn't a result of NVIDIA not producing GPUs, but rather something else.
It is claimed that Team Green is involved in "scarcity marketing" (via @Jukanlosreve), which basically means that it has dropped inventory levels available in the markets massively, providing the perception that the RTX 50 series is in huge demand. Not only this, but with lower SKUs in the markets, this means that price will surely drive higher, and ultimately, this move is terrible for the end consumer, who is forced to acquire GPUs at inflated prices, but for NVIDIA, well they are selling a lot less SKUs.
Moreover, it is claimed that NVIDIA's upcoming mid-end GeForce RTX 50 GPUs, notably from the 60-class and 70-class line-up, will come with high inventory levels, and while this hasn't happened with the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, which by the way, is retailing for two times above its MSRP at some retailers. We recently reported on how the GeForce RTX 5060/RTX 5070 might see a delay into April/May, and one big reason for this might be that the inventory levels will be high with these models.
The bigger question here is what's happening with NVIDIA's RTX Blackwell launch. Firstly, we saw horrible inventory, and now, the missing ROP count issue has extended into almost all the GPU models from Team Green, suggesting that the problem has deteriorated. We are looking for more clarity from NVIDIA, but based on what we are seeing, things are not looking good.

Nvidia clearly indulging in market manipulation and Trump does not care at all. Why? But he says that he will impose tariffs on Nvidia.

Rare shit is still shit ..
They only seem to behave when amd does something. And then people buy Nvidia again.
