Recently, some foreign media published an article saying,From a consumer perspective, the launch of NVIDIA ARTX50 series graphics cards performed poorly. Frequent problems such as blown connector cables, supply shortages, price increases, and exaggerated claims about the performance improvements of various graphics card models seem to indicate that NVIDIA is gradually becoming a company that focuses more on profits than player experience.
Players have put NVIDIA on the altar countless times. After all, its graphics cards are indeed excellent, but now the premise of "excellence" no longer exists. RTX4090 and 5070 performed mediocrely, and consumers were extremely disappointed with this release. Some people suggest not buying NVIDIA graphics cards, which may be a reasonable choice. If sales of NVIDIA's new generation of graphics cards are no longer booming, perhaps it will realize that its marketing strategy of deceiving consumers is not a good strategy.
However, NVIDIA graphics cards generally perform well, with their frame generation and upsampling technology leading AMD for years, and top-end graphics cards performing better than their AMD counterparts.As a result, consumers are faced with a difficult choice: either endure NVIDIA's false performance propaganda and pay high prices for graphics cards, or choose AMD but compromise on performance.Neither option is ideal, and for consumers who love PC gaming, the development is frustrating.

AMD can improve the situation by improving the performance of graphics cards. Its recently released RX9070XT and RX9070 are quite close to the target and have an advantage in price. AMD graphics cards have been priced lower than NVIDIA over the past few years. Perhaps NVIDIA can stop lying about the performance of new graphics cards and set reasonable expectations to avoid consumers finding that the goods are not right when purchasing. For example, NVIDIA claims that the RTX5070 can provide RTX4090 performance at a price of $549, which is obviously untrue.
To make matters worse, it is difficult for consumers to find RTX5070 graphics cards at the recommended retail price (MSRP).Graphics cards that aren't purchased by consumers who really want them are snapped up by scalpers, who sell them on sites like eBay for hundreds of dollars above the MSRP. You may be lucky enough to wait until restocking, but you may also have to pay higher than the recommended retail price due to factors such as tariffs. Even if you buy an RTX5070 graphics card, its performance is far inferior to what NVIDIA claims. Comprehensive testing shows that although the RTX5070 performs well, it cannot be compared with the RTX4090.
