News Nvidia RTX 50-series demand drops in Germany — cheapest models of all but RTX 5090 priced at MSRP or lower

[Admin]

Demand for Nvidia's RTX 50-series appears to be dropping as cheapest models appear to be priced at or below MSRP. The only exception is the 5090, which is still in high demand.

I'm already seeing the Swap police storming an house of someone. It's an illegal cannabis farm. Look at the thermals on the bedrooms, it's freaking hot!

They storm the house and see a bunch of students playing online...

Average and median are two different things.

Come on, this is elementary level math.

There are plenty if you know where to look. Anything that lacks external power is going to be limited to 75w of the PCI-E connector.

I'd love to see any investigative article that discusses number of cards sold in addition to pricing. My sense is the 5090 is trickling out in numbers just this side of a paper launch. I'm sure demand is high, but I'm thinking supply is unusually low.

When I was in elementary school, a million years ago, we were taught that mean and median were two types of average. The author expressed it appropriately by stating average (median) then just referring to it as median thereafter. Also, when I was elementary school, they had just stopped using slide rules so things may have changed since then...

I used a Thornton slide rule in my final exams at Uni. Electronic calculators were new-fangled and too expensive for the average student, so their use was banned in exams. My first calculator (kit built) cost the equivalent of US $844 today.

The average is the mean (add all prices and divide by number of prices).

Median is the 50th percentile. Which can be helpful for comparison to the mean (the number of billionaires in the US makes the average income much higher than the median income) but isn't commonly useful on small data.

Consider GPUs priced at 800, 810, 820, 890, 900, 940.

In the average/mean is 860. Is 820 or 890 the 50th percentile value since there is an even number of prices?

Steam numbers came out and 50 series has 3 cards up while 9070s didn't even make the list. AMD beating Nvidia on supply is complete BS.

If you can't afford more than a 100w GPU draw you're too poor to be playing PC games to begin with.

Things haven't changed and you're absolutely right. An average is just a number that best represents a set of data. The mean is just one type of average and the terms mean and average are not interchangeable as one poster has suggested. The mean, median, mode and various other measures of central tendency can legitimately be described as an average. The term average is often not particularly helpful unless you know what form of average is being used. The imprecise nature of the term can be easily exploited to misrepresent a situation. As you pointed out though, the author qualified their use of terminology appropriately in this article.

It's not really a case of AMD "beating" Nvidia or vice versa. The bottleneck for supply is the same in both cases ( ie TSMC capacity). Bigger die sizes are affected much more than smaller ones because the margin on a single 5090 GPU for example is obviously a lot lower than the margin on the multiple high end CPUs you could make with the same piece of silicon.

I believe there is decent supply of 5070 and 5080. It's the 5090 that I think is being held back. I believe they are prioritizing gb202 to workstation cards and 5090d Chinese market cards to get ahead of sanctions.

Edit to add on launch day my local microcenter got 70x 5080 and exactly 0 5090. Since then they say they receive 1 or 2 5090s per week.
