Given that Trump has now reiterated multiple times, at least once after he personally met with Nvidia CEO Huang, that he will indeed be going forward with tariffs on Taiwan…
If you’re in the US, I wouldn’t expect to be able to get any 5000 series Nvidia GPU any time soon, at least not for under $3000+.
EDIT:
AMD cards will also be affected by the Taiwan tariffs, but uh, they tend to price things a bit more affordably, and provide more actual stock volume… but as of right now all we know is the 9070XT was planned at some price below $899, most people expected $450 to $500… but there’s still no official price, or date, and now the tariffs are a thing… so… maybe $899 actually is now a realistic price estimate for the 9070XT?
Who knows! All the gamers can now thank Trump for making all PC / Console components and likely video games themselves more expensive.
EDIT 2: Also, you can run professional production, CUDA style workloads on AMD cards:
Also also, the RDNA 4 architecture for AMDs 9000 series cards seems to be rebalancing toward more raytracing performance, but that’s based on leaks so far.

YMMV.
