NVIDIA Adjusts GeForce RTX 50 Series Pricing in Europe; Slight Reduction Result of Favourable Exchange Rate

[Caring1]

Is that the excuse marketing is going with after all the complaints about excessively high pricing?

As with the crypto mining craze, Zotac too had made a program to make sure GPU's got to gamers. Meaning, they know full damn well, someone else in the supply chain are snatching these up, and scalpers are making a massive killing in the process.

All I am saying is, let's not pretend that these GPU's are primarily being bought by gamers, that is bs and a straight up lie.

Others would say a 7900xtx allowed them to play native 4k60 gaming for half the price, if sometimes not much less

Sure, but buying a 7900xtx means that by the time you end up with a card that has similar performance to the 4090 you'd have spent as much or more money than if you had just bought the 4090 in the first place 6 years ago. Think about it, in 2028 AMD needs to release a gpu that is 41% faster than the 9070xt to match the 4090 in performance. How much you reckon that card will cost? Probably between 850 and 1k. Plus whatever you paid for the 7900xtx, congrats, you've now spent 4090 money but you didn't get to enjoy a 4090 for 6 years. Nvidias value proposition cannot be beat. It's sad, but true.

Those MSRP prices are a SCAM anyways. There is absolutely 0% chance to find a card at that price. As always, one should add 50% more to MSRP for the realistic, non-scalped price.
People should start voting with their wallets, instead of pouring money into nVidia's callous pocket, especially, when the new gen of cards have beyond mediocre performance uplift.
PC Gaming is starting to become a very expensive, luxury hobby.

Did anyone buy nvidia?

Now I get it " The more you buy the more you save".

Till 2028 some of of 4090 might have melted connectors only that, if power gate not gonna let voltages to mess up other components on the card, I would add some of those yet to come repair costs to it.
IMO is a powerful card on weak PCB design.
Most people will do fine with midrange cards. Yes AIB costs are cutting even more now and maybe 9000 and 5000 series, will have more issues than the already present ones.

Ah yes, the melted connectors, ofc. I'll keep you updated on mine

Sure, price went down but it was never in stock:

The cheapest 5090 I can find here (Hungary) is ~4000 eur up to 6500 eur
5080 starts from 1500 eur but usually 1800
5070 ti starts from 1250 eur but usually 1500
5070 seems to be ~870 eur

Should be ~€3830 to €6220 now
