- According to reports, NVIDIA and Board members are established to leave the GPU prices of the RTX 5000 series in online retailers
- Supposedly, this is due to low sales and excess supply, after months of pricing
- This comes in the midst of another rumor that suggests that Nvidia will soon launch Super GPU models for Blackwell’s alignment
The resellers have been out of the discussion in the GPU market for a long time, since the prices of NVIDIA and AMD cards were marked in multiple retailers, but it seems that this can become a problem again, amid good news for team fans.
According to the channels of the Board in Chiphell, Nvidia and its Board members are configured to reduce the GPU prices of the RTX 5000 series as soon as this month, due to ‘low terminal sales’ and the ‘excess supply’. It occurs after rumors that Team Green will present Super GPU models for the RTX 5000 series below this vacation season.
Nvidia has not yet provided any confirmation about this. Even so, there is a mixture of GPU of the founding edition and partner of the Board available in retailers such as Best Buy in the USA. And Scan in the United Kingdom, and in particular, at original or lower retail prices, which gives some credibility to this Rumor of Chiphell.
It has been a slight contrast with the usual procedures in the GPU market; Usually, consumers stay to fight the coatings to acquire new GPU, but since inflation and tariffs have left prices in retailers who shoot, the demand has been low, but if this report is legitimate, that can change quickly, once the punctures find out about the lowest retail prices.
Fortunately, Nvidia already has a solution to combat the resellers, which is its verified priority access scheme, which allows consumers to buy new GPU. However, it is if he decides to use it on a broader scale, since it is limited mainly to certain regions.
ANALYSIS: The verified priority access scheme is the Nvidia Unidirectional Ticket to return to the good fans’ books
Once again, the rumor about the price drops of the GPU is not confirmed, so nothing is established in stone, but if this is true, Nvidia would do better to use the buyer’s scheme in all its extension. While I don’t think there is a way to completely defeat the coatings, I think this is the ideal method to soften its impact.
The verified priority access scheme allows those who have made a NVIDIA account on a certain date or before January 30), obtain a special invitation to buy a founding edition GPU. This will not cover the GPUs of the Board Board, but at least it will give more consumers the opportunity to update.
I have no doubt that scalping will become a generalized problem again, and frankly, I am surprised that it has not begun, since there are many units at the retail price available at this time.
Fortunately, however, it will be a great movement by Team Green for its fans, since there have been many criticism during the RTX 5000 series due to driver problems, missing specifications in GPU (specifically Rops) and low availability.
It will be interesting to see how things work if prices begin to fall even more, and I would recommend being attentive to online retailers for any sudden development.
