Pressure from reduced sales??

The data center sector generated revenue of $115.19 billion, representing 88.27% of total revenue.

They don't give a shit about selling less gpus to gamers. Who believes this shit??

AIB and retailers care. Do you think AIBs are going to buy the chips if they can't currently clear stock?

 

[demigod]

Weird. It still shows up on the side-bar but the actual article page itself has been nuked.

Nvidia ninjas got to them. They want to sell as much as possible at current price before they announce the drop.

 

[LordCBH]

By "aggressive price cuts" do they mean $5 off and bundling it with a shitty game nobody asked for?

Can't wait to get the MindsEye brack-Friday buduru.

[Pimpbaa]

Still over 600 bucks canadian for the 16GB version of the 5060. I think i paid less for my GeForce 970 (last midrange video card I bought).

The more the time goes, the more the discrete GPU market for gaming becomes a NEGLIGIBLE portion of Nvidia's business.

they can feel that way, just give us GPUs.

I don't know where the optimism comes from.

The demand for their hardware in AI/data center is so high that they are basically booked for years to come.

They are under NO pressure to lower the prices whatsoever. If they decide to do it, it's only because they want to and it's not a guarantee it will apply to their next lineup.

Yeah this makes no sense. The big AI players would just buy up the high end cards. The only thing I can see happening is a reduction for the mid-lower end cards to clear stock for the incoming supers.

 

[Yerd]

Cheapest 5080 is around $1400. So price cuts will be a whopping $400 to bring it to the price they said they were supposed to be in the first place. It appears to be a huge price cut because they have been gouging $400 out of us already.

 

[MayauMiao]

I'm still on 1060 and refused to jump to 5000 series with a pathetic 8GB. I'll hold off until next year or a justified price.

 

[SmokSmog]

I see Nvidia shut down the previous article, WCCFTECH has no integrity.
Nvidia did this so it would not spread as a news, this would paint RTX 5000 series as undesirable and lower the sales even more.

 

[sendit]

Yes. Regardless of the price they will be bought up by resellers and price adjusted accordingly.

Have you checked the market lately?

These cards are not flying off the shelves even with MSRP discounts already in place.

I don't think Nvidia can do that.

however, I also think the article is kinda misleading too. The only reason they would do a move is to clear inventory before the Super series byhe end of the year. not for anything else.

There is no other alternative to high end GPUs to have a price reduction. there is nothing as powerful as say 5080 from the AMD side. so people who wanted to buy anything high, they will have to pay whatever they like it or not.

This is just more of clearing inventory a little bit

 

[newtypepilot]

why would nvidia reduce price when it's pretty much a monopoly?

the price is going to fall back to MSRP to clear inventory before the super variants hit the market.

 

[Zathalus]

Here in Germany/Netherlands the 5070/5070 Ti/5080 can all be had for under MSRP. The 5070/5070 Ti can be had for significantly under MSRP. 5090 is very close to MSRP as well.

Only the 5080/5090 in the US seem a bit above MSRP still.

 

[Dr.D00p]

Nvidia cuts prices for the US.

..raises prices for the non freedom loving Eurotrash.

 

[Denton]

RTX 5070 alone is nearly the cost of a PS5 Pro here in Canada.

Strange. Here in Czechland PS5 Pro costs 826 euros (without the drive or bundle) while RTX 5070 costs 544 euros (prices with VAT included).

 

[Rivdoric]

Nuked article.

Was probably fake & bullshit as 50% of wccftech content.

 

[calistan]

The cheapest 5070 on Overclockers (UK) is currently £480 (was £540). For a 5080 it's £930 (down from £1000). For a 5090 it's £1930 (cheapest model was previously £2030). Some models are more expensive but have bigger discounts.

 

[Senua]

Called it, there was no way they are keeping those prices with all that stock and adding in the Supers.

 

[Mister Wolf]

I just checked Amazon and Newegg right now. Every single 5090 i scrolled through is well over the $2000 msrp.

I agree that this is more moving cards back to MSRP to make room for the Supers, which will be slightly higher.

Guess this is all the evidence you need there won't be a 5090 Super.

Came here to say this. Got beaten.

 

[mrBarrelNut]

I have noticed some price cuts here in Finland. IIRC 5060 Ti 16GB was closer to 600€ last week, but now prices have been reduced by roughly 100€.

[TheMan]

Microcenter already cutting prices on some cards by 200 or more. That said prices are still too high. Also with the supers coming I'd still hold off

 

[samoilaaa]

I'm so cynical I figure they're doing this to clear out stock before the super series comes out.

thats exactly what their doing

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

I presume it wont' affect 5090

 

[FalconPunch]

50XX still melting cables so still no buy

Yup and this is the real key. Regardless of the price, the 50XX is a complete nonstarter. Until its confirmed that the power cable issues are fixed, theres no point spending money on a product with a very defective design.

 

[Lokaum D+]

But, but what about the tariffs ?

 

[Gaiff]

But, but what about the tariffs ?

I thought they had been paused for such products?

 

[Doctor Hades]

I saw this thread and went to check the NVIDIA site as I have been doing since the RTX 5080 launched.

Previously, this GPU was always listed as out of stock but now it is in-stock and at £949 for the Founders Edition. This is £100 less that uglier third-party offerings but the irony is that with the rumour of a price drop, I cannot realistic order this card if it is going to drop in price sometime soon. I'd be kicking myself for not waiting.

What makes this a bit easier is that I have had to wait so long to buy this GPU now that I am a whole less excited about it anyway.

 

[Lokaum D+]

What proucts ?

 

[JohnnyFootball]

I will say straight up that I don't buy it in the slightest.
nvidia pretty much has never dropped prices for the fuck of it.

The original 1080 got a price drop when a new model with new RAM came out.

But that's it.

What most likely will happen is that current models will probably start getting sold closer to MSRP.

The 5000 series GPUs are underwhelming. Its basically a rehash of the 4000 series.

No generational uplift. Ray tracing basically had no gains. Any performance increase was followed by a power increase.

 

[Euler007]

This makes me think the big purchase orders from datacenters have severely slowed.

 

[Zathalus]

But, but what about the tariffs ?

The 5080 is currently significantly cheaper in the EU vs the USA on the order of 200-300 dollars when taking into consideration tax and currency differences. ~1020 Euro (including tax) vs ~1250 Dollars (no tax). Historically, even when taking stuff like that into consideration, GPUs in the EU have usually been more expensive.

Very true, plus 32-bit PhysX support was removed and multi-framegen was added as a selling feature and to artificially inflate the performance benchmarks (or at least that is what NVIDIA wanted all the reviewers to do).

I do own a RTX 4080 Founders Edition so upgrading really would have been a waste of money and I'd be better off waiting for the rumoured Super variants with more VRAM (assuming I could even pre-order one) or just waiting for the RTX 60 series.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Microcenter website lets you see the actual # in stock at each store. I've been watching 5090 inventory for a while and practically NOBODY is buying these. Even when they had $300 off one model early this summer (bringing the price down to a still insane $2500) they barely even budged.

Now most models are $200-$300 cheaper than they were a few months ago and the inventory keeps growing.


Honestly it restores my faith in gamers just a tiny bit. We FINALLY found that gamers have a breaking point

Even with more memory, unless you are running workloads that are making you memory starved, there's no real reason to get a new cards for the 12-15% performance uplift. Only the 5070 Super is getting more GPU cores, the 5070ti and 5080 are just getting the memory bump with a 15% power increase meaning you might see higher clocks, but is that something you can't do on your current card already?

The AI rendering tech in the card could be interesting. But I feel it will end up like raytracing on the 2000 series. Games will finally start using it near the end of the card's life cycle but will perform too slowly, with the 6000 cards being a good jump. Just like 2000 -> 3000 was. We're already seeing a little of what's possible where enabling DLSS can provide visuals that look better than a native 4K render in some instances. The big question will be what AMD and Intel cook up to compete. But if history repeats, AMD won't have an answer and RDNA5/UDNA are still solid performers and get integrated into the PS6 and next XBOX. But PC gets three generations of GPU development and quickly overtake the consoles.
