If you've been on the fence about upgrading to Nvidia's latest hardware, a new game bundle might just sweeten the deal.

Nvidia has cut prices across a range of RTX 50 series graphics cards for a limited time. Currently in the UK, you can save up to £250 across a range of ten custom-cooled graphics cards from the likes of MSI, Gigabyte, PNY, Palit and more. 

MSI is slashing prices across a wide range of high-end RTX 50-powered gaming laptops this month. The biggest discount is quite astonishing, with £1000 wiped off the price of an RTX 5090 gaming laptop, although you will still need deep pockets to buy one.

Earlier this year, we heard from a number of readers who had issues obtaining their paid-for product after pre-ordering RTX 5090 graphics cards from uwgamespecialist.nl, a tech retailer in the Netherlands. Following our initial report, the CEO of uwgamespecialist claimed that an internal investigation would be launched but by July of this year, we learned that the company was in fact still scamming customers. Now another couple of months later, the company appears to have shut down.

The prices of RTX 50 series graphics cards have slowly been coming down across Europe. This week, the most recent price cuts came into effect on the Nvidia website, showing significant cuts for the RTX 5090, 5080 and 5070.

With both Nvidia and AMD having launched new-generation graphics cards this year, it is now time to take a look at the state of the market. Nvidia's RTX 50 series GPUs have been available since the end of January and as of last week, the AMD RX 9070 series GPUs are also available. Early stats indicate that AMD is currently outselling by volume.

Last week, a dutch etailer caused quite a stir after telling RTX 5090 pre-order customers that they would have to wait longer for their graphics cards to arrive. Despite having units in stock, the store claimed that Nvidia had issued a recall of RTX 50 GPUs. We were quickly able to establish that no such recall is or was taking place, and now, customers who have been kept waiting for over a month are starting to get their graphics cards.

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.

Specifically, the claim was made that Nvidia had recalled a number of RTX 5090 graphics cards due to a potential fire hazard.

A European retailer claims that Nvidia has begun recalling RTX 5090 graphics cards due to fire hazard issues.

In recent weeks, early buyers of RTX 50 series graphics cards have discovered that their GPU does not meet the advertised specification. At first, it was thought that this issue was only impacting a limited number of RTX 5090 and RTX 5070 Ti models, but this week, the first affected RTX 5080 was discovered. Now, Nvidia has responded with an updated statement.

In recent weeks, a few RTX 50 graphics card buyers have encountered some issues. This time, we aren't talking about burning connectors, but a different kind of fault.

The RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 graphics cards officially launched last week but eager buyers were disappointed to find that the majority of stock had sold out and that prices were already on the rise. To make the buying process simpler, SCAN has launched its RTX 50 tracking page, promising transparent updates on stock, timings and even pricing changes. 

As expected, Nvidia's RTX 50 series launch didn't have enough stock for the demand. It was predictable that stock would run relatively fast, especially considering the reported low product count arriving at retailers. As if that wasn't enough, it seems the next batch of cards will take a while to …
