News NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Is 2x Faster Than 4080 At $999, RTX 5070 Ti 2x Faster Than 4070 Ti At $769, RTX 5070 Faster Than 4090 For $549

RTX 5070 - was supposed to kill the RTX 4090 (ahem ahem), its barely able to beat it older brother the RTX 4070.

Me watching Nvidia deliver the worst GPU series launch in history and still having 90% market share... (This really needs to change in the next 2 years)

Nvidia lost $600 Billion in valuation in January when Deepseek Ai was introduced and today also lost $200 Billion in valuation in a single day as Trump's tariffs continue to roll out.
  • If Trump's new threat of massive 100% tariffs on chips from Taiwan comes true an RTX 5090 for $2,000 will seem cheap
  • In a first tariff-induced hit against the PC gaming sector, ASRock is talking about increasing costs and moving its graphics card manufacturing away from China
  • Even AMD chip manufacturing is dependent of Taiwan so getting a RX7000 or RX9000 series GPU's for $600 will seem cheap
  • CEO's of Best Buy & Target are predicting that it will be the end user who will have to pay more if more tarrifs hit
Just last month, gaming's largest lobbying group said that Trump's tariffs "would negatively impact hundreds of millions of Americans", and consumer GPUs being even more expensive is just one of the ways that could happen. With AMD's & Nvidia's manufacturing also heavily reliant on Taiwan, your chances of getting a Radeon RX 9000 series or RTX 40/50 series cards at MSRP are diminishing too.
As Mexico, Canada, and China have all threatened retaliatory tariffs, and even the CEOs of Best Buy and Target predict the consumer will take the brunt of these actions.

TRUMP? wait.. i thought the 40-50% customs tax on pc parts we get to enjoy was... it was trump all along? damn scooby snacks!!!
 

GeForce RTX 5000: Notebook GPUs are also affected by ROP loss​

Gaming notebooks with GeForce RTX 5000 are not yet available on the market, but faulty GPUs with too few ROPs also affect this device class.

Apparently this is a systematic error, because the lack of a ROP cluster with eight ROPs in the desktop models of the GeForce RTX 50 series also seems to be evident in the mobile offshoots. Hardwareluxx has received corresponding reports from some notebook manufacturers.

The GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs used in the notebooks use the same chips as the desktop cards, but in a different configuration. NVIDIA has previously said that 0.5% of production is affected by this anomaly. At first, the problem focused on the GeForce RTX 5090 and GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, but NVIDIA later had to admit that the GeForce RTX 5080 is also affected. In benchmark comparisons we conducted, the cards lost up to 14% of their performance due to the missing ROP cluster. So far, there is no indication that the GeForce RTX 5070 based on the GB205 GPU is also affected by the problem.

Affected customers should be able to exchange their cards with the manufacturer - provided availability allows this. NVIDIA apparently wants to prevent the delivery of affected notebooks and has instructed notebook manufacturers to test all devices before delivery. These additional tests are likely to cost time and delay the delivery of the first devices.

Since the end of February, the first notebook manufacturers have been offering pre-orders for the devices. However, unlike originally planned in March, the devices will now only be delivered in April. Depending on the manufacturer, model and other configuration, it could even be May.

In addition, heise reports that notebook manufacturers only received a final VBIOS for the mobile GPU last week. This means that mass production of the devices could only start now.

We already know the rough technical data of the GeForce RTX 50 laptop GPUs . So far, NVIDIA has not provided any information about the number of ROPs. Within the architecture or expansion of the GPU, NVIDIA can switch off various areas, but this does not necessarily apply to the ROP clusters.

Update: Statement from NVIDIA​

NVIDIA has issued a statement to Hardwareluxx and contradicts the reports. According to the statement, there are "no further issues" and "all partners continue to perform checks as part of our standard testing procedure."

NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5090s Are Now Being Recalled In Europe Over a “Fire Hazard” Warning; Issue Likely Related To The 12V-2×6 Connector​

NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090s are now being recalled in Europe, with the risk of a "fire hazard" associated with the onboard 12V-2x6 power connector.

Well, it seems like NVIDIA's RTX Blackwell GPU fiasco won't end soon, given that now, it is said that the lineup might experience widespread "burning" issues, similar to what we saw with Ada Lovelace. In a report by KitGuru, citing a retailer in the Netherlands, it is claimed that NVIDIA is re-calling several units of the GeForce RTX 5090 due to "increased fire hazard," and while they haven't explicitly mentioned the reason behind it, something is definitely brewing. Here's what the retailer has said to consumers:

Nvidia has recalled a large number of video cards due to various safety issues. We currently have five units of this model in stock, but they all have to be returned due to an increased fire hazard. In this situation, we do not give priority to anyone; all customers are treated equally based on the ranking when pre-ordering or ordering the video cards.

- via KitGuru

Interestingly, we haven't seen reports of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090 getting burned out, apart from a few incidents with models such as ASUS's ROG Astral. The reason why NVIDIA's RTX 50 series GPUs are said to be prone to such burning incidents is that they come with a newer 12V-2x6 power connector, which is said to be a flawless version, sorting out all the issues associated with the troublesome 12VHPWR power connector. But now, it seems like there is a compromise, most likely within the connector.

Experts like Der8auer have expressed concern about NVIDIA's 12V-2x6 connector not evenly distributing power across all the wires, which is why the temperatures of the connector reached over 150°C on the PSU side, which is indeed alarming. However, given that we haven't seen the problem being reported by consumers frequently, it is assumed that the RTX 50 series isn't facing any issues for now, but we are waiting for an official update by Team Green on this matter.

NVIDIA's RTX Blackwell launch is by far one of the most troublesome ones for consumers, given the issues they are surrounded with, and it is surely disappointing, given the expectations people have with a brand like NVIDIA.

Yeah saw that on reddit. Seems it was some promotion with Colorful where they had a handful of GPUs at msrp
Similar that the promotion that Colorful had with Vishal Peripherals

Just wait for six months, lads—the pricing will normalize. This is just the initial euphoria, unnecessary marketing, or controlled stock at play. That’s exactly why EVGA jumped the gun.
