Here's a (relatively) good news for those looking to buy a 5000 card in Europe:

NVIDIA Adjusts GeForce RTX 50 Series Pricing in Europe; Slight Reduction Result of Favourable Exchange Rate

Graphics card price watchers have highlighted refreshing downward motion in Europe, apparently affecting three out of the four GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards. VideoCardz received a couple of email tip-offs from its pan-European audience, prompting the publication of a short investigative piece. NVIDIA's slight adjustment of official pricing for GeForce RTX 5090, RTX 5080, and RTX 5070 models is the result of a strengthened Euro. The US dollar's value has dropped by roughly 3.9 %; according to recent detective work, focusing on German trends. Team Green's "generous" reductions have arrived roughly two weeks after a stabilization of the USD-EUR exchange rate.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 series pricing (for Germany)—launch price to current price

• RTX 5090: €2329 —> €2229 (-4.3%)
• RTX 5080: €1169 —> €1119 (-4.3%)
• RTX 5070 Ti: €879 —> €879 (0%)
• RTX 5070: €649 —> €619 (-4.6%)

The change isn't huge or means anything for non-MSRP cards, tho. And it's interesting that the 5070 sees a price cut but the 5070Ti doesn't.

Going by my last visit on an e-tailer today, it was absolutely necessary to lower the prices of the 5080 and 5070. Both GPUs have been in stock for a couple days now at massive markups. The 5070 for instance started at 729€ and went up to 879€ with 8 models available. By comparison the only 9070XT that was available went for "only" 789€, and that one was a Sapphire Nitro+ OC. The 5080 meanwhile was between 1450 and 1500€ among 3 models and clearly too expensive for potential buyers
