In the world of graphics cards, which is always changing, Nvidia’s Super versions have just come out. But these cards haven’t been selling as crazy as planned. Let’s look at why this might happen and how it might affect when the new GeForce RTX 5000 series is available.
1. The huge sales mess with the RTX 4070
People weren’t as excited when the GeForce RTX 4070 Super came out as they had hoped. Some people have called the situation a “disaster” because gamers weren’t running to buy these mid-range GPUs. With 16GB of VRAM, the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT is still a strong rival. The RTX 4070 Super is better only because it supports DLSS 3 and Nvidia’s better ray-tracing features.
Having trouble with prices? The main problem? The cost. It looks like gamers don’t want to spend more than $600 on a 12GB GPU. Buyers don’t like Nvidia’s insistence on boosted, powerful cards with lots of RGB lighting.
2. The RTX 5000 Series: What’s Next? a. When will it be available?
Nvidia usually puts out new GPUs for consumers every two years. Since the RTX 4000 Super models came out in January 2024, we think the Blackwell series (RTX 5000) will come out between the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025.
Price Uncertainty: Get ready for prices to be high. People say that the RTX series is too expensive, and the Blackwell family is not likely to change that. The top-of-the-line RTX 5090 might cost about $1,599 when it comes out, like the RTX 40902.
b. Features and specs
Design by MCM: Nvidia, on the other hand, has stuck to unified chips. There are, however, suggestions that the Blackwell series may use a Multi-Chip Module (MCM) method. MCMs use interposers to connect different chiplets, which could make them more efficient and work better.2. Memory and Cores: You can expect faster clock speeds, more CUDA cores, and high-bandwidth GDDR7 memory. The RTX 5090 might have 24GB of VRAM2 and 24,576 CUDA cores.
3. What Will Happen to Stocks?
How many RTX 5000 cards Nvidia makes depends on a number of things, including:
RTX 4000 sales: If the RTX 4000 series does well, the RTX 5000 series might come out sooner.
AMD as a competitor: Nvidia’s plan for releasing new products will include the RDNA 4 series GPUs that are coming out soon.
Scalpers’ Bad Luck: Even scalpers, who are known for quickly buying GPUs, felt bad about buying RTX 4070 Supers because they didn’t sell well. Soon, you should see more Founders Edition cards.
4. In conclusion,
The Super cards from Nvidia failed, but the RTX 5000 line looks good. Gamers can’t wait for the Blackwell GPUs because they have MCM styles, better performance, and affordable prices. As we wait for them to come, let’s hope they find the best mix between price and efficiency.
