People hyped for the Nvidia 5000 series better get their cards before prices skyrocket across the board. I guess graphics cards weren’t expensive enough or something.
Really though, no brand is safe from the soon-to-be insane prices if this does go through as a blanket tariff without exceptions. Better to err on the safe side and upgrade soon as you can, if you need to and you’re not too wealthy to care.
The most cutting-edge chips are made in Taiwan. Hardly any (if any) chip foundry comes close to the quality they export. It will raise prices of nearly everything in a PC as consumers will probably buy up the remaining stock of modern hardware as an alternative.
I’ve read some idiots online saying “you’re dumb if you didn’t wait for the 5000 series” based off of the revealed MSRP, as if the majority of people are ever going to buy at those prices (especially now with tariffs). What’s likely is that consumers will pay far more to get relatively less improvement if they go with a 5000 series card.
There’s enough sucker fanboys for Nvidia that they’ll probably still sell though. Just like how there’s people who will buy the new Call of Duty each year.
Even for the big spenders the 5090 does not warrant a new purchase. The 4090 was fast enough for most things. For things the 4090 is not fast enough, the 30% bump will not be much help.
A far bigger VRAM capacity would have been nice but 8GB extra is meh
