Well it did release in January, so it took them 2 months to show up.

I wonder when the 5090, 5070Ti and 5070 will show up. Either way, I think the sales curve of Blackwell will be much flatter than the one from previous generations, probably more comparable to Maxwell than it's direct predecessors.

I wasn't actually expecting to see any Blackwell GPU's this month since it's only 2 months exactly since it launched which was considered a paper launch by everyone in the industry but it seems like there is more cards out there than people expected. I was curious so I checked back in this thread and the 4090 was 3.5 months after launch with a 0.24% first appearance and 4080 at 0.14% after 2.5 months in comparison.

Next month is definitely going to be interesting as it would be 7 weeks since RDNA4 so 1 week less tracking than Blackwell so that should show up and in big numbers from what we keep hearing about launch day stock.

Keep in mind that the 5090 is massively overpriced (still haven't seen one below 3000€) and thus outpricing most potential customers, and the 5070Ti was rarer than rain in the desert until just a couple weeks ago. As such, the only thing that NVidia was selling in any kind of volume until late March was the 5080, also due to both AMD and NVidia draining their reserves of older GPUs in the meantime.
