NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50-series Blackwell Availability
- Thread starter pcchen
- Start date
Makes the danish prices seem like a bargain
As 1£ = 8,96 DKK
But a weird placeholder price to put there

Has the pound depreciated a lot? Is it like the yen where you have to move the decimal point a few places?
Absolutely. Including scalpers and buyers. Without everyone doing their part none of this works. If people stop buying the whole scheme falls apart. Fat chance of that though.
Not yet but it's not for lack of trying on the part of several successive UK governmentsHas the pound depreciated a lot? Is it like the yen where you have to move the decimal point a few places?

I think it's funny enough that the same websites and channels post news about this being "paper launch" and then in a day about "many people experiencing black screen / bricking issues on 50 series".

I don't see how both can't be true. The number available for launch was insanely low and out of the ones they sold a lot of them are having problems.
Launch number of GPUs and failure rates/problems with GPUs aren't generally in the same ballpark.
How is this contradictory?
I will say the latest Nvidia driver completely screwed up my system, I basically can’t use VRR on my TV anymore.

I see that this needs explaining.
If there are no cards on sale then there are no owners who can have issues.
If there are owners with issues then there are cards on sale.
So your system is "completely screwed up" because you can't use VRR on your TV?
Don't act stupid.
No-one has said there haven't been any cards sold, just that there are less cards than usual launches.
And even if we pretended no cards were sold at all, they did send review samples and reviewers have had issues.

I'm not the one acting stupid here.
Are there? Do we have anything but hearsay from a couple of retails on that?
I know for a fact that "reviewers" didn't have any issues. Now what?
So we're supposed to take your word over reviewers themselves telling about the issues they've personally had?
Also as side note, NVIDIA has confirmed they're now investigating the issues.
It this the same 0.06% type of error that affected sub 500 cards worldwide with the power connector on the 40 series?
I know it caused a lot of "noise" on forums, but it was WAY overblown and when the numbers came out, people ran off and focused on other stuff
Are there any indications this is any different?
I know I have seen posts screaming about more than 10% of all cards are affected, but the data is (as always) not there?

No, you're supposed to understand that not all reviewers had issues.
Last time they've "confirmed" something like that it turned out that people weren't capable of inserting a plug into a socket.
Do you actually believe this is what GN said?
Yes. VRR is a core feature and previously worked very well on both Nvidia and AMD cards alike. This isn't an isolated issue either I'm seeing a lot of people have trouble depending on their display after this update.
That is something very annoying. As I have only 3 hours time in a week to play and I usually ran updates without powering the screen (yeah... parent of a very active toddler living in limited space), I can imagine being really upset to start my weekly gaming session and noticing that I can't do that, with next possibility to try to fix it not until whole week forward. Hopefully they can fix this soon. (And thanks for reporting, I won't be updating my 3070Ti drivers forawhile and for just in case.)
Degustator: It is rather interesting that according to you, nVidia's supply was not shorter than in 40-series launch... But in case of malfunctioning cards it actually was short supply. So short that there is no cards that could be malfunctioning... I am really hard time following the logic here. But most likely it is just me.

That's not "according to me", that's according to those who somehow marry both in one sentence.Degustator: It is rather interesting that according to you, nVidia's supply was not shorter than in 40-series launch...

Whether something is a paper launch is a question of semantics. The more relevant question is how supply compares to previous product launches.

Then why do they call this a "paper launch" if it carries very little meaning?
