I can't think of a worse launch.

We're gonna crash this site with all these threads about Nvidia's launch failures 

• Rushing launch to advertise unobtainable MSRPs before tariffs
• False advertising "5070 > 4090 performance @ $550"
• Absolutely pitiful supply
• Crazy scalping
• Poor performance vs. past gen (except 5090...)
• Failing / melting connectors
• Missing specs (ROPs disabled), basically customers receiving "D" versions
• and now cards burning....

 

I sincerely hope the next press conference people start booing and AMD capitalize with RDNA 4 to send the message so the Bloomberg's of the world start to take notice. They're treating their core audience like garbage.
