Nvidia has dropped the prices for some of its RTX 50-series GPUs in Europe, with the RTX 5090, 5080, and 5070 seeing a reduction of almost 10%. As noted by Videocardz, these lower prices are likely tied to a weakening dollar, making the import of American goods into Europe relatively cheaper than before. The USD was at its peak when Nvidia’s latest gaming GPUs launched, with the exchange rate hovering around $1.04 for every Euro. Today, it now sits at around $1.16 — a more than 10% drop in value since January.
This currency shift likely influenced the AI tech giant’s decision to drop the MSRP of its Founders Edition GPUs. When you visit Nvidia Germany’s marketplace, you will see lower prices on the aforementioned cards versus their launch prices. This also holds true for other European Nvidia sites, like France, Belgium, and Spain. Hopefully, other manufacturers will soon follow suit, as they haven’t reduced prices at the time of writing.
