RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 launch supply to be quite limited: AIB RTX 5090 stock could be on same level as RTX 3090

[Redaktion]

Launch supply of the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 is reportedly going to be tight. According to Moore's Law Is Dead, the RTX 5090 stock at launch from AIB's is expected to be on the same level as the RTX 3090, a GPU that also had pretty constrained launch supply.

Scalpers will have a terrific time, once again.

Buyers will complain, yet still pay to get their card from scalpers at inflated prices.

Nope!

Huge difference this time around, though, to this deliberate limited shortage from NVIDIA to cause a shock in the market:

Difference from 2018 up to today:

No global pandemic

No global shutdowns

NO GLOBAL STIMULUS **EXTRA** "FREE" MONEY"

A heck a lot less work from home jobs compared to 2020ish

Global recession that has introduced TENS-OF-THOUSANDS of job losses GLOBALLY

Trump's KILLER's TARIFFS will more than likely be in injected into the market before these GPUs are released

Blackwell has no major performance uplift compared to Turing to Ampere to Lovelace

On & ON!!!

Sure, there will always be SOME impulse buyers, some YTers, SOME RESEARCH labs, and those users that like selling off their current cards (after several melting overclocks abuse nonsense, ect.) for the shiny new toys but this time... the MAJORITY...  will be less likely to play alone this time.

Man that's really disappointing. I already had my 5090 pre-ordered.

I wish you were right, but I'm not hopeful - just look at the scalper pricing on something as inane as the Arc B580/B570.

This is and has been illegal. Just like the quadro monopoly. Just like them suing and getting the courts to shut down a competitor from making a program that allows the competition to actually work on non cuda cores. While also manufacturing a literal fire hazard in the 4090 that isn't a customer problem. If it was a customer caused problem then the 2 revisions would have been given that literally fixed the customer caused problem. 1 to update pin structure cause it wasn't seating correctly, 1 to increase the mass of each individual pin because they weren't the correct guage enough to be able to pass that much wattage through them. Yet they don't get sued and lawsuit is tossed. Corporate malpractice and legal infringement on the rights of the customer. All to say this American company is the best. When it probably wouldn't even be able to compete if the competition was allowed to be competitive. Also illegal.
