Nvidia’s next-gen GPUs, casting doubt on stock levels (again) and also the pricing of the GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080RTX 5090 and 5080 will be short on supply due to some communication issues between Nvidia and AIC partners.The Chinese New Year is also another issue and may cause slowdowns in factories leading to shortage but expected to improve in February.RTX 5070 Ti will appear in mid-to-late February whereas RTX 5070 may not be available until early March.Consumers might have to pay increased prices for Blackwell GPUs initially, even to the tune of them being doubled.There might be a delay in RTX 5070 model, but it seems unlikely that Nvidia would break the promise of launching in February.There’s always the prospect of a so-called 'paper launch' with hardly any boards released initially.AMD has just announced that its RX 9070 models won’t launch until March, much later than expected.Take all this with a wheelbarrow full of salt, and remember that AMD purportedly has its own issues to sort out around RX 9070 pricing.I’m not going to buy these suggestions of an RTX 5070 delay – at least not until we hear this from other corners of the rumor mill.
