In Germany, stocks of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 are running out, and prices are rising

The availability of the RTX 4090 in the German market has gone from bad to worse. 3DCenter reports that retail sales of the RTX 4090 have decreased. Several local vendors are almost done selling. Meanwhile, it seems that all the remaining stores with good stock of the RTX 4080 have raised their prices to compensate for the low price.

At the moment, only one lot of RTX 4090 was available on Mindfactory.de and Other On the Mindfactory website there is a PNY RTX 4090 Verto for €1998.99 – $2225.65, and on the Other website there is one Asus RTX 4090 ROG Strix Gaming Edition OC White for €2079.00 – $2314.73.

CaseKing is still full of RTX 4090 deals – including 20 air and liquid cooling cards from MSI, Asus, Gigabyte. However, prices are said to have risen significantly to keep stocks in stock. The cheapest RTX 4090 models start at €1,917.08 and the highest €2,400 for some models. For comparison, that’s a price range of $2,100 to over $2,600, which is about $1,000 more than the suggested retail price.

3DCenter reports that these extreme prices are “a good 150 euros” higher than the average price for the RTX 4090, which was set at around 1,700 euros over the summer, still well above the original RRP .

If this is not a short-term supply bump, this suggests that the RTX 4090 discontinuation rumors may have some credence. It’s a rumor that has been circulating for a week, based on information from manufacturing partners Chinese boards, that Nvidia will “officially discontinue” the RTX 4090 and its Chinese counterpart, the RTX 4090D, in October, allowing the remaining products to go away until the end. of November.

October hasn’t arrived yet, but it’s only a week away. If supplies of the RTX 4090 start to dry up in other regions, we could get more clues about the validity of this rumor. If this starts to happen, Nvidia could release GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards this year or early next year.
