Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 29113, member: 2262"] People watching graphics card prices in Europe noticed prices going down on three RTX 50 series cards from NVIDIA. A bunch of Europeans emailed VideoCardz about this, making them look into what happened. The Euro has gained strength against the dollar, which fell by about 3.9% based on trends in Germany. NVIDIA waited around two weeks after the exchange rate settled before they cut any prices. Oddly enough, NVIDIA kept the RTX 5070 Ti at its original German price of €879 plus tax. This card never had a Founders Edition, meaning NVIDIA asked partner companies to make cards that match their suggested price. Someone who talked to VideoCardz said many RTX 50 cards just sit unsold because stores marked up prices way beyond what buyers want to pay. The small changes NVIDIA made, between 4.3% and 4.6%, probably won't change much across Europe. The RTX 5090 dropped from €2329 to €2229, a 4.3% reduction. The RTX 5080 dropped from €1169 to €1119, also 4.3% less. As mentioned earlier, the RTX 5070 Ti stayed flat at €879 with zero change. The RTX 5070 saw the biggest percentage decrease, moving from €649 to €619, which equals a 4.6% price cut. These adjustments came directly from NVIDIA and apply to German pricing. Many European shoppers remain frustrated because retail stores often charge much higher prices than what NVIDIA suggests. The current price changes mostly reflect currency shifts rather than any real attempt by NVIDIA to make its latest graphics cards more affordable for everyday computer users. [/QUOTE]
