With both Nvidia and AMD having launched new-generation graphics cards this year, it is now time to take a look at the state of the market. Nvidia's RTX 50 series GPUs have been available since the end of January and as of last week, the AMD RX 9070 series GPUs are also available. Early stats indicate that AMD is currently outselling by volume.

Last week, a dutch etailer caused quite a stir after telling RTX 5090 pre-order customers that they would have to wait longer for their graphics cards to arrive. Despite having units in stock, the store claimed that Nvidia had issued a recall of RTX 50 GPUs. We were quickly able to establish that no such recall is or was taking place, and now, customers who have been kept waiting for over a month are starting to get their graphics cards.

Following on from yesterday's report about a Dutch retailer informing customers of an MSI RTX 5090 recall, MSI has responded, denying that any recall is in progress and sharing a list of authorised resellers.

Earlier today, a KitGuru reader reached out to us to let us know about a rather bold claim from a retailer based in the Netherlands. Our reader Ben, who spent €3399 on an MSI RTX 5090 Suprim more than a month ago, was informed by the store that they would not receive their graphics card anytime soon due to a 'product recall'. Specifically, the claim was made that Nvidia had recalled a number of RTX 5090 graphics cards due to a potential fire hazard.

A European retailer claims that Nvidia has begun recalling RTX 5090 graphics cards due to fire hazard issues. This follows recent investigations into the new power cable shipping with RTX 50 series graphics cards, with some YouTubers finding that the cables simply don't have enough power regulation protections in place to be safe for use.

The Asus ROG Astral RTX 5090 has proven its overclocking prowess, shattering six performance records, including four world records and two first-place positions in the single-GPU category. Safedisk, Asus's in-house extreme overclocker from South Korea, was the author of these new records. Utilizing a variety of test setups, including systems …

At CES, Razer unveiled its latest Razer Blade 18 and 16 laptops, powered by RTX 50 graphics. Now, both are up for pre-order. The new Razer Blade 18 utilises the world's first dual-mode laptop display with 4K/240Hz and 1080p/440Hz modes, while the new Razer Blade 16 is Razer's thinnest laptop …

In recent weeks, early buyers of RTX 50 series graphics cards have discovered that their GPU does not meet the advertised specification. At first, it was thought that this issue was only impacting a limited number of RTX 5090 and RTX 5070 Ti models, but this week, the first affected RTX 5080 was discovered. Now, Nvidia has responded with an updated statement.

In recent weeks, a few RTX 50 graphics card buyers have encountered some issues. This time, we aren't talking about burning connectors, but a different kind of fault. It turns out, a small number of RTX 5090 and RTX 5070 Ti graphics cards were shipped with GPUs featuring fewer ROPs than advertised on the official spec sheet. 

It's a RTX 5090 prebuilt, priced at £5.3K - are you interested?!

There have been many disappointed enthusiasts who have been unable to get hold of an RTX 5090 or RTX 5080 graphics card since launch last month. In an effort to avoid scalpers buying up Founders Edition graphics cards, Nvidia has now set up a Verified Priority Access program.

Roman Der8auer has been busy testing RTX 5090 graphics cards following the first reports of melting 12VHPWR connectors. Much like when the RTX 4090 launched, at least one early RTX 5090 buyer has encountered an issue with the connector overheating and melting.

The RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 graphics cards officially launched last week but eager buyers were disappointed to find that the majority of stock had sold out and that prices were already on the rise. To make the buying process simpler, SCAN has launched its RTX 50 tracking page, promising transparent updates on stock, timings and even pricing changes. 

As expected, Nvidia's RTX 50 series launch didn't have enough stock for the demand. It was predictable that stock would run relatively fast, especially considering the reported low product count arriving at retailers. As if that wasn't enough, it seems the next batch of cards will take a while to …
