Another gloomy Nvidia RTX 5000 rumor suggests next-gen GPUs will be price hiked over the MSRP in many cases, and I’m getting worried now

Rumors suggest that Nvidia is putting pressure on its third-party graphics card partners, potentially causing higher pricing for RTX 5000 boards. This could lead to prices exceeding MSRPs, as components costs are reportedly squeezing margins. Stock shortages and pricing concerns are looming over the launch, with worries about limited availability and inflated prices. Concerns also arise over the impact of GDDR7 video RAM costs on component expenses. The possibility of GPUs being above the $999 MSRP and scarcity of models at recommended prices add to the apprehension surrounding the launch. The challenging landscape may make purchasing these graphics cards more complex and costly than anticipated, with uncertainties around stock levels and pricing strategies. Additionally, the launch of AMD’s RDNA 4 rivals offers an alternative for consumers, albeit with its own set of uncertainties and delays.
