Supply and demand.
Either adapt or lose.
It is a no brainer.🐤

 

[sfergy27]

Hyperscalers and large Enterprise customers have their orders filled and are waiting for their datacenter capacity (single-tenant buildings and data halls) to come online to execute. Mid-size Enterprise and lower customers are stuck with no data center capacity able to support their 1-10 rack requirements needing 50-120 kW per rack because the only data center capacity available is in legacy data centers supporting 150-200 w/sf with no water cooling availability.
So the mid-size and below aren't buying until they can find data center capacity that will support their requirements.

It's like you expect prices to not be stupidly high though.

 

[Ogotai]

alot of good this will do if it also doesnt lower the prices by 1000-2000, if not more

no one i know is willing to pay the price of a 5080, let alone a 5090

 

[acadia11]

I’ll believe when I see it, the proof is in the wafer! Launch prices for AIBs also increased substantially from the day they were released.

This latest generation of Nvidia cards is so wildly popular but it's going to be very difficult to keep up with demand regardless of how many they produce I see them selling out for the near future and beyond. These are the most powerful graphics cards ever produced and people want the best and they will sell like hotcakes.

They keep selling out because no one will buy them right?

Well, obviously someone doesn't agree with you because the 5080s and 5090s were all gone before they even hit a shelf, and the next batch will be too. I hate the high price (because I'm getting g a 5080), but if you are NVidia, why lower it?

Two months later:

It's said, allegedly, that consumer-facing RTX 50 family Blackwell, especially the B202 isn't selling as well as Nvidia expected.

Three months later:
Recall due to melted connectors

The connectors are not melting it's the cheap wiring that can't handle the amperage that is melting. If you buy cheap wires you make costly mistakes.

Nitpicky much? The connectors are smelting, that's a fact. They do so when the wire(s) and or individual connector(s) for the pins are overheating, apparently due to inbalances between the load over the different wires, which seemingly also can be due to the PSU in some instances.
That the connectors are specified to use pin connectors that are running so close to maximum seems more and more like a fundamental design error.

I don't care about products created and priced for the wealthy. Not having this isn't going to stop me from playing video games.

supply doesnt matter if the thing is overpriced and a fire hazard

NVidia motto buy our crap then set your house alight.

im personally boycotting the 5000 from any rigs i build for family or customers.

ill focus on amd and intel till nvidia gets a brain thats on this earth and not ai generated.

what intel and amd need to do since nvidia insists on dropping its trousers is focus on tech thats theres and only theres. or well have a similar situation with microsoft and sony.

also it be good if intel and amd let there board partners change up the specs. on how much vram etc let them be creative.

there's to much of the same old same old in the market.

if amd and intels plans to stick at the 100-600 segment then they need a solid foundation of features that gamers creators etc want.

i never said that... did i ? they are selling out because there are so few of them, and there are only so many people that can afford to spend 1500+ on a 5080, or 3200+ on a 5090..
if you have the money for one of these good for you.. id rather make an extra payment on my mortgage

Well, obviously someone doesn't agree with you because the 5080s and 5090s were all gone before they even hit a shelf, and the next batch will be too.

yea. due to low supply, which i think has been confirmed on here in a other news post

I hate the high price (because I'm getting g a 5080), but if you are NVidia, why lower it?

because nvidia knows,. where are still those out there that will pay their ridicules prices

 

[Broly MAXIMUMER]

Easy to sell-out when there's only a handful on the shelves to begin with.

There will always be a few. In this case, fewer than the few.

 

[russell_john]

That's complete BS because the GB200 chips have no RT cores plus a GB200 is actually two chips mounted on a high speed substrate. None of that is compatible with a 5090. Now they might be using the blank wafers intended for the GB200 but no way are they using GB200 dies that have already been processed.

I told people two weeks ago that supply would pick up at the end of the month because they never started making the 5090 dies until the first week in January and the 5080 chips until the second week in january after spending all of October November and December making B100 and B200 chips that were already sold out before production even began. Also the B100 has a whopping 4096 bit memory bus and the B200 has two 4096 bit busses while the consumer chips are limited to 512 bit max.

You can't really change up VRAM amount much because it is set on the buss width. For instance a 256 bit will only support 8, 16 and 32 GB. A 192 bit bus only supports 6, 12, and 24 GB So all could they do is go to 32 GB on most models and that would just be a waste of money for gaming.

It says GB200 wafers so...

 

[russell_john]

It also says a leaker and they are about as reliable as a ex-convict ...... There are no RT cores on their data center products so they simply cannot be made into 5090 devices.

It's always "the most powerful graphics card ever produced". Same was said about the 4090, 3090, 2080ti.......

that was only a example.

im pretty sure theres nothing stopping a fully x 16 card of a 4060 ti apart from costs. other thing isnt just memory capacity its speed.

i had a 750 ti that had faster memory which was a palit.

hell galax made a single slot 1070.

the closest exciting thing we got out of the gate was a hobbled together 4060 low profile.

and only because the 4060 was absolutely murdered by reviews considered a joke by some that crown is the 3050 6gb currently along with its buddys from amd side 6500 xt and 6400 xt.

But you aren’t nvidia you are a consumer?

I'm going to have to call bunk on this. It generally takes about three months from wafer to graphics card is my understanding. You have to cut the chips from the wafer, test and bin, ship to card manufacturing and assembly, etc. If Nvidia did this RIGHT AFTER the 5090 immediately sold out? Maybe we get a bigger supply by March. More likely, if it changes the wafer orders this month or next, it will take until April or May for the increase in supply to actually happen.

3Gb chips are coming.
