NVIDIA News Roundup: There is a rumored low-price RTX 5060 Ti happening, folks still have a chance at MSRP cards, and the latest GeForce drivers are still causing issues for some.

Oh my goodness....So far my 4090 is ok for what I need, I may just sit this one out. I hate those 12V-2x6 connectors. Bad idea and just not consistant quality. For over 2K I would hope for better.
 
The one thing I noticed, the guy looks to be using a gen1 HPWR connector. Even Corsair says with this new gpu generation, you should make sure you have gen2 connectors. They (Corsair) sell both native and 8pin gen2 connectors for their psus for 20 dollars.
 
Well with the trade tariff wars increasing prices for every company out there, I have a feeling that made sales of big AI stuff is going to hit a real road block. Even companies don't have unlimited funds.

Sure we will see new Datacenters going in to regions to support locally produced hardware. But those production facilities need to be spun up. And until they manage that they will be pulling on every income stream they can as hard as they can to fund that development and Nvidia is no different.

That or they have a better cash reserve than folks think and they hope to wait out the idiocy of the tariff wars.
 
Datacenters will chase cheap energy and connectivity. Those two are the largest operating costs by far. Apart from those two things, the physical location doesn't matter at all really. Tariffs only affect the capital purchase once, but energy and connectivity costs are forever.

When your capital cost jumps to 2x or 3x the planned spend that kills projects in their tracks. I can tell you right now capital expenditures are trying to get in under the tariff wire. And getting approval for a project that WAS supposed to be 1 or 2 million and now it's 3 to six million is a LOT more difficult especially if there isn't a direct correlation to the company mission/income.

Why would costs jump 2-3x? The tariff's don't equal that. Most enterprise equipment isn't made in China. And Taiwan backed off, so no tariffs there.

Depends on the suppliers. I'm sure if you're already buying TAA compliant hardware your costs are going to remain somewhat stagnant. But you basically have to be on a special list to even be able to order that stuff. Painfully so.

Other hardware purchasers are building in cost increases. Plus welcome to a new round of supply chain issues.... Potentially.

This is what I'm thinking as well even though I hope it doesn't happen.
