NVIDIA Switches Production Capacity to RTX 50-series "Blackwell"
Q1-2025 promises to be an action-packed quarter for graphics cards, with NVIDIA introducing the bulk of its next-generation GeForce RTX 50-series "Blackwell" GPUs. The company is expected to start things off with the two enthusiast-segment SKUs, the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, in January, followed by the RTX 5070-series in February, and rounded off nicely with the RTX 5060-series in March. This would mean hundreds of individual new graphics card SKUs from NVIDIA's board partners, which are reportedly busy winding up the final inventory deliveries of their RTX 40-series "Ada" products, and transferring this production capacity to the RTX 50-series. So, when the RTX 50-series GPU models do come out across the quarter, there's plenty of inventory to go around. Board Channels reports that on NVIDIA's end, production of nearly every AD100-series silicon has ended, except the AD107, which will continue selling for entry-mainstream GeForce RTX 40-series SKUs. The AD106 production line has stopped, as has the AD103, AD104, and AD102.

Please contact me mid-late '25 and if I have any left, I might consider selling you ONE, hahahaha :D
so,don’t put all,your eggs in that basket. I also doubt gpu mining is still a much of a thing.
so yeah scalpers will try making a quick buck the first couple of weeks and notice nvidia won’t be allowing them,to make much of a profit on their little scheme.
This 5080 has specs better suited for a 5070 card. And if the real 5070 will not surpass the 4090, like almost every generation did, well, you'll have your answer ;)
