Following on from yesterday's report about a Dutch retailer informing customers of an MSI RTX 5090 recall, MSI has responded, denying that any recall is in progress and sharing a list of authorised resellers.

Earlier today, a KitGuru reader reached out to us to let us know about a rather bold claim from a retailer based in the Netherlands. Our reader Ben, who spent €3399 on an MSI RTX 5090 Suprim more than a month ago, was informed by the store that they would not receive their graphics card anytime soon due to a 'product recall'. Specifically, the claim was made that Nvidia had recalled a number of RTX 5090 graphics cards due to a potential fire hazard.

AMD's RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 graphics cards officially hit store shelves today but it appears that demand is astronomically high. Due to the sheer number of people trying to buy one of these graphics cards, OCUK has had to put a queue system in place just to access the storefront. 

A European retailer claims that Nvidia has begun recalling RTX 5090 graphics cards due to fire hazard issues. This follows recent investigations into the new power cable shipping with RTX 50 series graphics cards, with some YouTubers finding that the cables simply don't have enough power regulation protections in place to be safe for use.

Nvidia and AMD have launched their new graphics cards and we are all set for gaming in 2025, however there have been some shocks along the way.

Nvidia continues its rollout of RTX 50 series graphics cards today with the RTX 5070. While this card is decidedly an unambitious product, it can still serve a purpose on the market, particularly for those with an older RTX 20 series GPU, or a lower tier RTX 30 series GPU. We've rounded up details on UK pricing and availability, with a focus on GPUs targeting Nvidia's £539 MRSP price point.

Nvidia's handling of the recent RTX 50 series ROP issue hasn't been the best. After issuing a relatively low-key disclosure about a production error affecting a small number of GPUs, the company has seemingly left it up to consumers to identify and resolve the problem. While Nvidia claims the performance impact is limited to around 4%, independent testing has revealed a more significant performance deficit in specific scenarios.
