NVIDIA Adjusts GeForce RTX 50 Series Pricing in Europe; Slight Reduction Result of Favourable Exchange Rate
Graphics card price watchers have highlighted refreshing downward motion in Europe, apparently affecting three out of the four GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards. VideoCardz received a couple of email tip-offs from its pan-European audience, prompting the publication of a short investigative piece. NVIDIA's slight adjustment of official pricing for GeForce RTX 5090, RTX 5080, and RTX 5070 models is the result of a strengthened Euro. The US dollar's value has dropped by roughly 3.9 %; according to recent detective work, focusing on German trends. Team Green's "generous" reductions have arrived roughly two weeks after a stabilization of the USD-EUR exchange rate.
Curiously, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is an outlier here—NVIDIA did not reduce its German guide price (€879 + VAT) for this upper-mid-range offer. A Founders Edition does not exist at this GPU level, so Team Green has tasked its board partners with the creation of so-called "MSRP conformant" alternatives. One of VideoCardz's tipsters has observed various GeForce RTX 50 series models simply "rotting on shelves," due to potential buyers balking at unreasonable retailer-implemented price hikes. NVIDIA's minor changes (4.3 to 4.6 %) are unlikely to make a noticeable impact across the Euro zone.

5080 starts from 1500 eur but usually 1800
5070 ti starts from 1250 eur but usually 1500
5070 seems to be ~870 eur
Effectively Nvidia is keeping the price here the same as all they are doing is adjusting for fluctuations in currency value. Failing to lower the price to account for the weakened dollar would in fact be another price increase as Nvidia would be making more money when the local currency is converted into dollars.
If this is your definition of consumer friendly, then there isn't an anti-consumer international company in the world according to your logic. This is entirely a normal course of business when selling in multiple countries.
not surprising given the current economy where everything's price has increased
RTX 5080: €1169 —> €1119 (-4.3%)

This turn out to be fake news or click bait.
Correct prices should be:
RTX 5070 starting from 678,98€,
RTX 5070Ti starting from 999,95€,
RTX 5080 starting from 1419€,
RTX 5090 starting from 3249€.
German prices from geizhals.de.
Edit: yeah, I said almost, still silly prices
Have we ever read about a price change because of euro strengthening? I have never ever read a press release saying that X company is lowering prices because of euro gaining over dollar. If I had, that's probably ages ago.
At the same time this is probably the first time AMD is having a success in the GPU market in the last many years. And it is much better to say that "Ι am lowering prices because of euro/dollar exchange rate" than saying "I am lowering prices because I suddenly face competition".
Zotac 539£ partially covered heatsink exhaust from what I can see from angled pictures. Zotac did the same on Solid version covered exhaust of heatsink entirely on one side and is free of plastic shroud just on the side towards MBO:nutkick:. IMO I would stay away.
Hope you find that useful
