Maybe we'll see less scalping now? Or maybe some buyers don't care about warranty or paying too much?

Nice be the lucky one getting new cards. Return to sender then you need to "return back to the the queue" and hope you get new card within next 16 weeks. Maybe you get lucky a second time? What next? NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Spotted with Missing ROPs, Performance Loss Confirmed Exclusive Updated Today, 11:42 Updated: Today TechPowerUp has discovered that there are NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards in retail circulation that come with too few render units, which lowers performance. Zotac's GeForce RTX 5090 Solid comes with fewer ROPs than it should—168 are enabled, instead of the 176 that are part of the RTX 5090 specifications. This loss of 8 ROPs has a small, but noticeable impact on performance. During recent testing, we noticed our Zotac RTX 5090 Solid sample underperformed slightly, falling behind even the NVIDIA RTX 5090 Founders Edition card. At the time we didn't pay attention to the ROP count that TechPowerUp GPU-Z was reporting, and instead spent time looking for other reasons, like clocks, power, cooling, etc. https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/some-rtx-5090s-are-shipping-with-missing-rop-units-leading-to-less-gaming-performance-report Nvidia have a lot work foreards with their brand new tech.... And it seems worse than ever. Shortage is only a small part of this awful release.

From what I see... Asus increased the prices for the 5090's upwards after the tax was preached (Astral went up quite a lot) and that is reflected in the Asus estore prices. Then expect the higher prices also should be included for the lower end SKUs. Maybe I'm wrong. But I think the prices is with the preliminary tax on Asus estore. So MC should be on same level.

I know. And I see it in the stores here home compared to other countries. What I meant... Is the $999 price also the same on the Asus US store? And from what I mean, MC don't increase over Asus store prices. Edit. Confirmed. Asus estore price is $999.99 - But of course there is no cards to buy.

Hmmm. Doesthismeans MSRP cards willbe $825 witht the tariff? And the custom Asus cards at $1000 will be $1250 without scalping? Edit. The 5070 Ti TUF gaming OC is $973 here home without the 25% Norwegian tax. The GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5070 Ti AORUS Master is for comparison $1023 without the 25% Norwegian tax. Gigabyte has taken over the ROG tax.

The TUF is a $1000 card... Same as 5080 MSRP https://www.techpowerup.com/review/asus-geforce-rtx-5070-ti-tuf-oc/

And where will all the cards go out from the AIB partners? Directly to the gamers? Some yes. But not ALL. Better that the AIB partners get more $$$$ out of the cake? They won't change. It's in their blood... It's called "GREED".

Nvidia trading away the graphics cards market share for higher profits. nvidia for gamers, LOL AMD & Intel GPU Market Share Starts Picking Up Pace In Korean Markets, Mainly Due To NVIDIA’s Poor Availability These are just a small glimpse of what 2025 has brought us, and this couldn't have been possible without NVIDIA's aid. If you think AMD is able to increase its GPU market share due to 'better' GPUs, then you are wrong. It's simply because NVIDIA's RTX GPUs are almost invisible in the market—not just in Korea but also in various parts of the world. Game devs... What AMD need to do now. $100 lower, is the bare minimum. AMD will never get an better chance than this. They got it for free from Nvidia. Btw. Anyone that want to try? The new 16-pin connector adapters come with heatsinks, copper and thermal pads to avoid problems

It's your money🙂 It's called progress. I start to see why nvidia don't bother with an FE this time. Throw some bones to their partners. For nvidia it's better continue with over priced data centers.

You should follow the same advice GN said about buying 5070Ti😎 From 1:56 I fix it for you....🤗 Does it really matter? Nope.

With the added tax on new cards the used/old new cards follow the price spiral upwards. @tps3443 You're crazy, man😆

People nowadays....

People paying $900+ for this is damn crazy...

Hmmm. Let's talk about Gigabyte,... Gigabyte is now the new price hike king here home. Gigabyte take all top 5 spots (yup, 5 different SKUs) before you start see first Asus card flash up on the price list (Astral OC LC). Isn't that cute? What's wrong with Asus? Maybe they will hit back and take the crown?🤔
