Episode notes
Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti Launch Fail
- Nvidia's RTX 5060 Ti launch suffered from poor supply and poor marketing, especially in the U.S.\n- Even in regions with good supply like Europe, consumers reject Nvidia's pricing and product strategy.
Nvidia Boosts RTX 5000 Supply
- Nvidia is suddenly increasing RTX 5000 series supply significantly in the U.S., matching AMD's supply volumes.\n- This might be a short-term strategy to counter earlier supply issues and lower prices temporarily.
AMD RX 9060 XT Market Opportunity
- AMD's RX 9060 XT offers performance slightly below the 7700 XT but better than the 4060 Ti, with aggressive pricing under $400.\n- Supply may be challenged due to tariffs, but the card could steal market share from Nvidia.
