GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 rumored to face "extremely limited" stocks in Germany

[Redaktion]

According to a recent post on PCGH, the RTX 50-series gaming GPUs, including and especially the flagship RTX 5090, will witness limited supply at launch, at least in Germany. A select few retailers at the higher rungs of Nvidia's tiered structure will get inventory first, with the rest following only much later.

Nvidia's strategy:

1) Make a product €1000 too expensive.

2) Limit supply to 1 item per country.

3) Boast "sold out immediately".

4) Make the world believe of the utmost demand that cannot be met by fast enough production.

5) Double the price and repeat.

"Needless to say, the maximum number of units per customer will be limited to one."

The best prosumer customers would do a new build with 2 to 8 top GPUs. By limiting to 1 GPU, they do not build at all. Brilliantly stupid strategy of Nvidia.

Brilliantly stupid strategy of Nvidia.

Ich weiß nicht, ob es so schlimm ist, wenn der Aktienkurs und die Gewinne steigen.

Tun sie, weil

1) Nvidias GPU-Server (die Dinger, wo jede GPU ~$30,000 kostet, aber The more you buy the more you save wahr wird) für KI oder Datenanalyse viel besser geworden sind und dies Nvidias Hauptgeschäftsfeld ist,

2) Die Aktionäre noch nicht motbekommen haben, dass Nvidia die Geforceendkunden wie den letzten Dreck behandelt.
